    "content": "One of the other nuisances of LoTW is that is definitely NOT rover-friendly.\nFor example, each location i operate from has to be submitted as a separate\nfile.  As a rover, until recently, i had more locations that i have operated\nfrom than confirmed grid squares!  Yet it's the rovers who provide the rare\ngrid squares and make life more interesting for the rest of us.  Roving can\nbe alot of work, and contact made as rovers don't even count towards most\nawards.\n\nI'm not sure LoTW handles grid square boundaries properly and it seems even \nless likely it handles grid square corners at all...  I ended up writing my \nown software for preparing QSL cards and LoTW is one of my biggest headaches. \n\nOn the other hand, if God[dess] Forbid, i drop dead tomorrow [and have not\ndesignated a QSL manager in my will], people will still have a way of their\nconfirming QSOs with me.. And perhaps someday all of this won't have to be\ndone by mail.  But alas, at this point, my confirmation rate via LoTW is\nabout 1.5% (and that is quite an improvement over a year ago). It's a step\nin the right direction, but it's got a long ways to go.\n\nSo it would be nice if LoTW became more friendly to VHF-and-above operators\n(as i don't think satellite operators are the only ones suffering) and they\ncome up with an automated way of designating satellites (such as utilizing\nthe current KEPS [plus an 'alias' file so they can match commonly used names\nwhich differ from the NORAD names]).  A lot have gone up recently, albeit so\nfar, most are telemetry-only birds.\n\nFinally, one of the nice things about the paper cards that is lacking on\nLoTW is the personal touch in the comments on a card.  This is included in\nLoTW submissions as the 'QSLMSG' field, but one does not get that field\nback in the \"ARRL Logbook of the World Status Report\" which one has a\nmatching contact, alas.  So i'll keep sending out the paper ones in the\nforeseeable future, there does not seem to be an adequate substitute...\n\n\t\t         -- KD6PAG  (Networking Old-Timer, Satellite QRPer)\n",
