Hello, I see that we have received a TQ5 file from you and processed it. The certificate was issued successfully and emailed to you. Please contact me directly (n1ta@arrl.org) and I can confirm your email address or provide instruction for obtaining the TQ6 (certificate file) from the web site. -Mike, N1TA; LoTW support |

LotW is designed for people with advanced degrees in computer technology. I have a Master's degree in educational technology and work with both Windows and Linux networks; thin clients and boxes. Yet I find myself wanting to see how effective my sledgehammer would be in helping me to load my certificate file in TQSL (Linux). I dual boot Win7 / Linux Mint, and am loathe to use Windows unless a gun is to my head. LotW is that gun. I use my CQRLOG program, export the QSO list to an .adi file, move it to the Windows partition by mounting it in Linux as a drive folder, then restart the computer, log into Windows, locate the .adi file, and upload it to LotW. Restart and back into Linux Mint to continue using the computer. I fervently wish there were a simpler way to do it, if only because it would make confirming QSOs that much easier for so many hams. Better yet, woudn't it be nifty if QRZ.com had something that allowed us to upload logs and confirm QSOs that way? Maybe ARRL and QRZ should work together. |
