As I understand it with LOTW you E-mail ARRL and they send you a "Key" you then encode your logs using that KEY before uploading to LOTR.
With eQSL you register,much like you registered here, Donations optional, and send them a scan of your license to get "Authenticated" It is that simple
Hence I use eQSL Since I"m not big on contesting I do not, yet, use LOTW
