I agree, more people need to submit logs. I have 1280 log entries and
only 3 hits! Come on, put those logs up on LoTW! Terry KC3AK Hank Oredson wrote: "Kevin Gibson" wrote in message om... I've created a Yahoo discussion group for the ARRL Logbook of the World.

About 6500 log entries, and 20 hits.
But it is simply too complex to use ... they gotta fix that. -- ... Hank Hank: http://horedson.home.att.net W0RLI: http://w0rli.home.att.net "KC3AK" wrote in message ...

I particularly applaud them for providing a working Linux client, together with the source code. With that, it should be easy to integrate LOTW into other log applications, either natively or as a plug in. There is no other way than a digital certificate to positively and uniquely identifiy a participant, but in a couple of years we will all have a digital identity and sending in snail mail to verify one's existence will no longer be necessary.

I am unsure whether linking against their libraries is allowed at all: 5. Products derived from or including this software may not use "Logbook of the World" or "LoTW" or any other American Radio Relay League, Incorporated trademarks or servicemarks in their names without prior written permission of the ARRL. So I would have to ask permission to link against the LoTW libraries? So much for distributing source-code. If only they would have picked a more sensible license, I might have started using LoTW. Their license rules kindof suck, read the LICENSE file included with the source code. Peter Lemken DF5JT Berlin Joop, PG4I |
