Default Finally got "Unlazy"

OK Andy, my curiosity finally got the better of me. I set up eQSL just to see if it would motivate me to start serious logging and, possibly, lead to learning how to use LOTW. I've been using eQSL now for about two weeks and, once I got it figured out, I'm getting into it. It was especially enticing since I had eQSL's waiting for me from as early as January of 08 and a couple from some VK's and ZL's.
The biggest challenge for me was figuring out how to export logs from Ham Radio Deluxe and DM780 to eQSL, but I think I've worked through all of that well enough to make the uploads pretty quickly.
Now that I've got a reliable engine to maintain my logs, I'm curious enough (and motivated enough) to figure out how to load to LOTW; Maybe even this weekend. From there it’s on to my first contest- maybe.
Better still, I think I'll launch a campaign to get ARRL to recognize eQSL's in lieu of their clunky old LOTW- as soon as I get motivated enough, of course.
Thanks for your guidance Andy.
