This month’s meeting program by Tom Schaefer, NY4I will cover the various methods
of confirming a 2-way contact. Known as QSLing, direct, incoming and outgoing QSL bureaus (buros), as well as ARRL’s Logbook of The World (LoTW) will be covered.
For those that have had challenges with LoTW, this is the program for you. Tom will walk you through how to start and complete your LoTW registration. Experienced hams bring your interesting QSL cards and show them off.
