I AGREE WITH KENNETH, SEEMS TO WORK WELL FOR ME, THE ONLY PROBLEM I SEE COULD BE CHANGED IS BEING ABLE TO DELETE A CALL FROM THE LOGS, THAT WE MAY HAVE COPIED WRONG OR THE OTHER STATION DID NOT PUT IN HIS LOG, ETC.  ESPECIALLY AFTER CONTESTS UPLOADS ETC.
BUT OTHERWISE I SEE NO PROBLEMS.
UNFORTUNATELY I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND THE LOTW REWRITE MEETING EITHER.

Hi Kim and all,

I was anxious to read the email about LOTW, hoping to find out why it needs a total rewrite. Actually, I think it works extremely well and find it rather easy to use. So, what would really help me is to know what is bothering those who feel a rewrite is needed.

Unfortunately, I would not be able to attend the zoom meeting planned for Wednesday. It would be most helpful, probably to all of us, to develop a list of the apparent flaws with the current LOTW system.
