[amsat-bb] Lotw use

[James McIrvin]

Good morning,
I am wondering why there are not more folks on the birds using LOTW?
I have a couple of people that show as LOTW users, however, they have not
uploaded there Sat contacts, or I have a bad miss match which can happen.
Being new I am still learning how some of this is working and have been
using LOTW for years and I find it quite easy to work with depending on the
software that is being used for logging.
I know that this subject most likely has been addressed before, however, in
this day and age with the cost of cards, postage and envelopes it gets
quite costly to be sending out many cards to obtain awards.
Another thing that I have not seen is if for some of the Amsat awards if
LOTW could be used for the awards if you can show a screenshot of the
matches via there system.

The reason I ask is when you look at the cost of cards, then postage and
envelopes, the cost can be quite high and if doing SASE the cost even goes
higher.
I know if your working non-USA contacts you can use the bureau which is
fine, just domestic stuff it is thru the roof.  In many cases, you could be
2 to 3 dollars per confirmation.
