ARRL signs certificates, free (free wold-wide, regardless of

I thought I would test this possibility.
Installing software (5 min)
Trying to negotiate the interface (5 min)
Supporting documentation needs to be posted to USA (2 weeks)

Opportunity for non-hams to obtain certificate - couldn't find any
information - I was thinking of SWLs here

My conclusion is that TQSL isn't suitable for the wiki.
We shouldn't prevent non-hams from signing up and contributing.

As I understand it it's an either-or.  If people have the certificate then 
they're authenticated w/o having to go through the captcha or even the login 
procedure.  If they're not, then the login/password and Captcha's will suffice.

If it was _only_ the certificate and nothing else, I would not want it 
implemented.
