[Logic] Re: ARRL LOTW

Carl, you're not the only only ticked at the Leagues wasting money on LOTW=
 when EQSL
does the same job just as well and easier.  I afraid it's another case of=
 "My Way or the
Highway" mind set of the League.

I've been a League member for almost all of my 32 years as a Ham and have=
 seen quite
a few things they did to get me steamed up !!!  I won't list them all or I=
 would be
accused of "League Bashing" Hi Hi.

My number one complaint right after LOTW is that this is the second year in=
 a row that
they have messed up my membership.  I had renewed via phone both years and=
 they got it
wrong.  So now I find out that I'm not a member and they are trying to get=
 me to re-up.
Maybe I'll just wait a bit now that I have an option.

 to close scrutiny!
