Logbook of The Word
A love/hate relationship for most is the feelings some have regarding the LoTW system that the ARRL uses for their QSL verification system. Yet it takes but a little while and LoTW becomes a valuable tool in the amateur radio operators goal of DXCC and WAS alike. Difficult is one of the kinder terms used to describe setting up LoTW and some have thrown up their hands vowing to never use the $%&#@ system again. But to the patient ones that persevere and master the setup and usage of LoTW much gold is gleaned and much money is saved through the use of LoTW instead of paper QSL verifications. That isn't to say that paper QSL will go away for they are far too many beautiful QSL cards floating around for hams to simply stop collecting them. But for two of the most prized awards, WAS and DXCC, the LoTW is quite simply the only way to go.
Below are my records that I use when I see stations on the air. It helps to know whether you do or do not need a station before joining in on a pileup.
