Bill, the time you save with LOTW (fewer direct QSLs) is much more than the time it would take to get the certs... even for 19 calls. I do it for 4 call/QTH combos, and it's really not that bad... I'm old and not very quick, so 4 calls takes me about 15 minutes once a year....it may take you an hour or so. Once you get the procedure down, it's really just a repetition. I don't know what logging program you use, but after you get your certs set up, most of the well-known logging programs now have a step-by-step button-push procedure to upload, download, and syncronize your log with LOTW.... even for hundreds or thousands of QSOs, it's pretty quick and easy now. Maybe you should give it another try.... it's really a timesaver.
