[Dxbase] Feature Request!

[Charlie - AD5TH]

No flames from me....!    Frankly I find eQSL to have several advantages 
over LOTW that is IMHO...

1. No extra software need be installed
2. It is totally 100% FREE - LOTW requires a current ARRL membership ($37 yr 
for stateside..more for foreign)
3. No "digital signature" required.
4. LOTW setup is complicated and cumbersome and may I repeat - Not FREE!!
5. Globally the vast majority of   "real DX'rs" do -NOT- belong to ARRL 
anyway!!!
6. Heck most USA hams do -NOT- belong to ARRL either!

To sum up (in my words) LOTW is costly, cumbersome and complicated to setup, 
it has a minority of hams as "members" not a majority. eQSL is free, fast 
and requires no "setup", $$$, "digital signature, annual renewal $$$, and no 
magazines (80% ads) are spammed to your mailbox.
