In a way, LOTW somewhat pays for itself.? Fees to have LOTW credits transferred to be applied to DXCC or WAS ... are a bit pricey.? Of course, if you just want to see how your contacts match up with others, then of course it's free.

"to be conservative and cautious with our communications"
This is from the ARRL letter June 6th, 2024 concerning the cyberattack at the league. Their viewpoint is tell members very little and be vague. From what I can tell, don't expect LOTW anytime in the future because it's a system everyone uses, I wouldn't be surprised if they started to charge extra for using it because they can use the cyberattack as the excuse like the dues increase and charging extra for a printed copy of QST which is the original monthly communication of the league to the members since the league formed. Meanwhile I'm uploading my logs to QRZ and eQSL, because they work.?
