[FQP] [ARRL-LOTW] Mobiles

[Chuck-NO5W]

I QSL 100% to requests from my mobile operations as long as an SASE is 
included. Generally these are turned around in a couple of days 
especially if an MRC is included. I'll even throw in a set of map QSLs 
showing where we were when we worked you (see QSL gallery examples on my 
web site <http://www.no5w.com>) or you could even print your own QSL 
from my Log On a Map pages.

But the prospect of separating my log into county logs and submitting 
each to LOTW just doesn't excite me and seems unnecessary based on the 
(rather small) number of requests that I receive.

 >>I would love to see the State Party sponsors require proper LoTW 
submission  as a requirement.
As the coordinator for a state QSO party (TX) I definitely would not 
support such a requirement. Think about the effort and expense (gas, 
lodging, etc) that the rovers already go to in order to put on an 
operation. They don't need additional requirements. Heck, I'm just happy 
when they submit electronic logs :-)
