Logbook of the World – The Worst System Ever

LOTW’s design and supporting help documentation is confusing. Digitally signing logs and validation of certificate recipients are really useful in the right context. Ham radio is a hobby and not a place for this technology. Hams wanting to submit fake logs so they can decorate their walls will eventually figure out how to circumvent the system. The rest of us are stuck using a top-heavy, security-laden system that is far to complicated for the hobbyist.
