[arrl-odv:26642] LoTW Matching--Correction
by G Widin 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

In the Discussion of motion "Frenaye #2" from the July Board meeting, it says: *See email below sent to LoTW chairman K0GW in January, and again in June, but not forwarded to nor reviewed by the LoTW Committee.* This statement is incorrect. As the chronology below indicates, I replied immediately to K1KI both in January and June. In addition, his January e-mail was forwarded to the committee immediately in January and resulted in extended discussion, several messages of which we also forwarded to K1KI. Per Minute 34, we will ensure that the Logbook Study Committee visits the topic of callsign matching *again*, and generates useful guidance to users. However, it is not true, as Frenaye claims, that I and the LSC did not consider or respond to his e-mails. I have asked Mr. Frenaye to clarify this to the Board, but since he apparently will not do so, I must correct the false accusation in his motion. 73, Greg, K0GW ___________________________________________________________________ e-mail chronology.
