What particular parts in the sign up process do they consider to be a
hassle? That would be the place to start in attempting to come up
with a solution.


Getting started is fairly painless for FCC-licensed amateurs, but a
non-USA operator requesting a certificate for Logbook of the World
must send a copy of his/her Amateur Radio operating authorization in
addition to a copy of one other government-issued document indicating
his/her identity. Such an additional document might be a driver's
license, or the first page of a passport. These documents must be sent
to ARRL via postal mail not email. This is quite a bit more of a
hassle than you or I go through, and because of overseas mail delays,
can take quite a while to accomplish.
