Charles, How many of those certs do you really need right now? I believe what you need most is the ONE cert that you will be using. If you renew one, you maintain your electronic identity. Then, obtaining additional certs as needed (if at all) is simple. 73, Wayne, N7NG -Original

Given some of the PKI implementations that I have seen in my work, this one is pretty easy. The best thing that I have seen that has been done is the extension from 1 to 3 years...noticed that when I renewed last week. Also, with more and more companies, educational institutions, government

I have a ticket to go to the VU4 Hamfest. My current India call sign is VU3CHE and I hope to get a VU4 call sign related to that but I will take whatever I get. I am taking only 100 watts and a Cushcraft roto-dipole gismo for 3 WARC bands . I plan mostly 30m CW if I can get on. Best

I've been licensed for nearly 35 years and only took up chasing DX seriously about two years ago. In my situation, LoTW is an indispensable tool for me to get beyond the basic DXCC award. At roughly $3.00 each (sometimes more) to snag a confirmation, having the choice of being able to get a

WB8RFB said If there is any way to encourage more DX stations to sign up and submit their logs, I'm all for it. Perhaps some kind of incentive offered by the League??? The ARRL announced LOTW is now working for Worked All States (see http://www.arrl.org/ ). This will help with more DX

Chuck: What you got was a notice that you have to renew your certificatation for your call(s) which has to be done once per year. Likely they have a valid reason for doing this. I have done it twice so far and haven't found it difficult to do. I update my log for my one call sign a couple of

N7EF Donald M. Anderson Kent, Washington No seriously I think this will get more DXers involved. Many overseas stations will now be able to get their WAS awards thus more DX stations for those of us chasing DX and using LOTW. Another way to encourage more DX participation would be

I'm a stamp collector. To use the usual LOTW arguments, it would certainly be easier, cheaper, quicker, just to collect jpeg's of the stamps, rather than the real thing...paraphrasing W3UR, "It would get more stamp collectors involved...would encourage more participation..." Right? N7EF –

Bernie - W3UR, Thanks for your comments and also the challenge you threw out the the group. What if the ARRL were to Meet You Half-Way? If the first 25 QSO's confirmed in LOTW for the basic WAS award were gratis for X amount of time, perhaps that would be a good incentive to get the DX logs

No there's not, Rob. There's a Spanish translation of N0AX's QST article. I'm suggesting that the entire LotW web site be made available in multiple languages. This includes usage instructions, the FAQ, account access, etc. 73, Dave, AA6YQ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL
