I just wanted to add that while the LotW takes quite a few steps to get 
into, once you establish a certificate, it isn't that hard to upload 
contacts. I've already put up about 3600 contest QSOs from some Cabrillo 
files, and already have 415 QSLs. 

Steve has done a good job. The software pretty much models the structure 
of the Windows program -- which is to say it is a bit clumsy in actual 
use. Not Steve's fault. It's probably best to model the Windows program 
in order to leverage the existing documentation.

Biggest beef is it doesn't append the .tq8 suffix when signing logs, but 
I can type that by hand.
