No flames from me....! Frankly I find eQSL to have several advantages over LOTW that is IMHO...
1. No extra software need be installed 2. It is totally 100% FREE - LOTW requires a current ARRL membership ($37 yr for stateside..more for foreign) 3. No "digital signature" required. 4. LOTW setup is complicated and cumbersome and may I repeat - Not FREE!! 5. Globally the vast majority of "real DX'rs" do -NOT- belong to ARRL anyway!!! 6. Heck most USA hams do -NOT- belong to ARRL either! To sum up (in my words) LOTW is costly, cumbersome and complicated to setup, it has a minority of hams as "members" not a majority. eQSL is free, fast and requires no "setup", $$$, "digital signature, annual renewal $$$, and no magazines (80% ads) are spammed to your mailbox.
