[Dx-qsl] lotw

[k4hb]

I don't believe upload costs for LoTW is a good idea. Some may upload only as a courtesy for those who use the system. I upload to eQSL for that reason, and if it they started charging to upload, then it's goodbye. And how about DXpedtions, would they still be willing to upload their logs if it added to their expenses?

My upload was almost 9 days ago, and a duplicate after they posted that you should resend any log uploaded before a certain date if it wasn't showing. My Field Checked QSL's took much longer than this to show, and a LOT more inconvenient to get processed.  If they can do it in 3 weeks on LOTW, I think we're still ahead....

It's a good program and saves a bunch of time, but I think at some point to handle the gizillions of QSO's being uploaded a COST will have to be levied for every 100, 1000, 10000, etc...QSO's being uploaded.  Servers aren't cheap !

Lets see what happens....

73 all and Happy Thanksgiving !
