"From what I understand" "I believe" "I don't think"
Since we haven't heard from software writers, it is probably premature to assume that LoTW is not "designed properly" and that there are any "on-going issues and problems". "Writing software is not easy", but from my experience with LoTW so far it seems to have achieved its intended goal of providing an inexpensive way to confirm QSOs. The only thing missing is for people to upload their files. Whether or not that happens and LoTW is a success will not be the fault of those who have tried to provide the tool, but rather the lack of enough interest to get those files uploaded. And it isn't that difficult. So why don't we see W4JVN there yet? :-) 73, Alan, WD9GMK -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of DaveK Sent: Friday, October 24, 2003 7:30 AM To: Mike Mellinger WA0SXV Cc: 'DX4WIN Group' Subject: Re: [Dx4win] LOtW From what I understand, the ARRL did not care to listen to software designers(such as Paul) or share much info on LOTW design. Therefore- any problems are rooted in the initial creation of the ARRL vehicle. The League went Lone Ranger on it and they got what they got. I believe that any on-going issues and problems could have been avoided if designed properly and they listened to the software guys. But I don't think they did that. Given the above- I am sure Paul will do the best he can with what there is to work with. Writing software is not easy. CQWW starts tomorrow, have fun filling up your logbook and good dx. 73 Dave W4JVN Mike Mellinger WA0SXV wrote: >There's what we need. Another smart aleck.
