[DX-CHAT] An Official LotW user list?

In relation to my previous post, I think if ARRL would periodically release an official user list, it would provide incentive for cluster users to chase dx that choose to qsl via LotW. Yes, I hear the non-cluster types tearing me down for not finding them the old fashioned way. I certainly

I'm not sure a list of over 18,000 certificates would be of much use. I guess what I was getting at is that the text list of callsigns can now be integrated into certain cluster user software that will let you know when a call being spotted is a certificate holder. But on second thought,

Yeah, I went and looked up all the spots for KG4... some are spotting him with one 4, some with 2. This is interesting. Assuming for the moment that he IS operating from Guantanamo Bay, one wonders if he (KG4WW?) got permission from whomever it is on the base that issues calls to add the extra

The number of US stations that operate outside our bands and subbands, during any contest, always amazes me. Apparently, there are those who do don't understand a thing about SSB or CW bandwidth. Most hams consider single-sideband suppressed carrier to be about 3 kHz wide. Which isn't

Strictly speaking, operations from Guantanamo Bay come under the authority of the base commander and those he has delegated to -- ie the US Military -- not the FCC. Therefore, if the KG44WW op has permission to operate below the US band on 20, he's kosher. And further, those in the US who
