This month’s discussion:
Logbook of the World- ARRL sponsored. You upload your contacts, others do the same. ARRL matches the two together. Significantly reduces the number of QSL cards you have to send out. Operates numerous modes, It’s a standardized way to capture information for other  programs.
Has features for security. No cost, not required to be an ARRL member. LoTW  has historical contact information. Tom estimates 30-50% of active hams in contests are using it. Go to ARRL.org to get started. Download the software and request a certificate. ARRL mails you a certificate.  Sign and upload your log. Can take an exported N1MM  or Ham Radio Deluxe log files. Will take Cabrillo formatted files from Writelog.
 
 
Next month:
 
Meeting adjourned 9:05 PM.
