*$%& LoTW Certificate Renewal

[cockpitbob]

As if setting up LoTW wasn't bad enough, you need to renew your certificate every 3 years...but it gets better. They do send a courtesey email reminder, but mine came only 6 days before the certificate expired, and the email doesn't mention you have just 6 days to do the 4 pages of instrucitons to renew. $hit like emails from LoTW can sit for a long time before I get around to them. So, I'm well past 6 days and have to go through the miserable chore of getting a brand new certificate. LoTW is the one thing the ARRL does in the most stupid way imaginable. My life savings has less protection than my LoTW account
