[NLRS] LOTW fun facts

[Bruce Richardson]

I know, LOTW is not in some of your futures--life's too
short :-) .  Well, it's extra tough for a rover to
participate--but I did it anyway. Since late 06, I've
submitted all my VHF and UHF logs via LOTW.

So far 3176 QSO's with 262 QSL'd via LOTW so far (8.2%).

The August UHF contest yielded 8 QSL matches--4 with K0AWU
and 4 with N9AKR.

In the universe of 3176 QSO's:

312  with K2DRH (10%) obviously he's not in LOTW :-)
233  with W9GA
161  with KC9BQA
216  with K2YAZ
72   with K9NS
120  with W0ZQ and W0ZQ/R combined
98   with WA9O and WA9O/R combined

The six meter match-ups are probably the most interesting.
Well, my Q's are there if ARRL ever does anything VHF
oriented with LOTW.

Ya know, in the early days of my roving, I used to get a lot
of QSL's that fixed stations used for their VUCC awards.
That has REALLY fallen off in the past few years. Either I
keep working the same stations that already have all these
grids or newer operators really aren't collecting for
VUCC's.

Please know that I GLADLY QSL all my rover contacts.  Sure,
I'm a little slow sometimes but I've got cards ready to fill
out.  Just let me know via email which ones you need QSL'd.
