I don't know about anyone else but my reaction to LOTW is that it is just overly complicated! I have done many financial transactions on line. None of them was even nearly as complicated and difficult as LOTW. For now I'm not sure I want to be bothered. I've had a very low percentage of "hits" on the logs I've submitted to date.
It seems to me that this system will not succeed unless they find ways to make it easier for users. 73, Steve W2KN -----Original Message----- From: Ron Notarius <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Jan 21, 2005 10:01 PM To: Ted Melinosky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, dx-chat@njdxa.org Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] [DX-NEWS] LOTW Has anyone asked ARRL about it? Ted, since you've got a connection with CQ, do you know if anyone from CQ has asked? Have you? I'm not trying to be a pain in the tuchus. But it seems relevant to inquire if anyone asked before wondering if ARRL has made it available. Or... has no one asked because everyone is waiting for an "it's available" announcement, and yet no announcement has been made yet because the folks up in Newington are waiting for someone to ask? Either way... remember, Logbook is just over a year old, and ARRL is still working on it. One wonders if we're rushing things here. Logbook will be with us a long, long time... seems to me that it's prudent to take our time and make sure it gets done right, including access by other organizations. Even if that means waiting awhile. 73 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ted Melinosky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "dx-news" <dx-news@njdxa.org> Sent: Friday, January 21, 2005 3:21 PM Subject: Re: [DX-NEWS] [:dx-news:] LOTW > Robert Dixon wrote: > > Does anybody know what other organizations accept LOTW, like CQ awards, > > etc. > > > > BTW, kudos to our "Old European" friends for the unveiling of the new > > Airbus.
