[OKDXA] Upcoming LotW Rewrite

[Connie Marshall]

For the most part I agree with others that it works pretty good. Needs 
to be easier to sign-up and renew however. Don't see the need to spend 
lots of money for a ground up rewrite that will just have new problems 
of its own.

Also, Steve you can download your entire log now.

73,

Connie / K5CM
