[OKDXA] LOTW

[k5tt]

I have uploaded 35,000 QSO's now using ADIF files.  The system works fine
but a person MUST read the directions and follow them exactly.  Even trying
my best I have made several errors.

It takes a few days to get started since you must apply by email, then wait
for a post card with a password.  This is part of the security to make sure
you are who you say you are.

I have had to send in copies of the licenses for my DX operations.  I hope
that posting the DX logs on LoTW will reduce the buro cards.

I encourage everyone to upload their logs.  It is a great idea and it works.
It will save a lot of postage money.

Good luck,

Jim
