[Logic] Re: ARRL LOTW

[Carl J. Denbow]

In following this thread, I have but one comment. The eQSL system=
 is easier, quicker and just as well authenticated as LOTW.  The=
 only reason the ARRL won't accept eQSL cards is that they have=
 too much invested in the LOTW.  I'm a ARRL member and have been=
 for years.  I won't cancel my membership over this issue, but=
 nothing has made me more angry toward the League that I can=
 remember.  I had a good discussion at Dayton about this with=
 some of the principals and the ARRL's position simply does not=
 hold up to close scrutiny!
