Aw, heck, Dick.  Now you’re just being a spoil-sport.  Next, you’ll be trying to stop some of our more devious members from distorting the truth on serious matters, such as which of us has the least intelligence.  Even if the allegation about you had been correct (and assuming it is for others) this is somewhat like my 8th Area Bureau Manager.  He has been a long-time DXer with many DXpeditions under his belt.  He probably had enough QSLs in a shoe box or two to receive DXCC many times over, but he’d not applied for the award.  Didn’t make him any less of a DXer or less qualified to be the Manager.  (He finally,  applied, though.)

I don't know how I ended up on the list of ARRL officials who are not
using LoTW.  I was a beta tester and every HF contact I have made since
2003 is in LoTW.  I have not been as active since I started wearing the
ARRL red badge, but I still do get on the air.

Below, is my LoTW activity record on the LoTW server.

Every HF contact I have made since I was first licensed in 1977 now
reside in two computers at my home.  Time permitting (lots of file
conversion required for the early logs), I plan to put all of them
into LoTW.

FYI, last night, I completed the renewal of my two TQSL certificates.

Whoever is tracking our usage, needs to get his facts straight before
he starts publishing his analysis!  How many other ARRL officials are
being erroneously maligned?
