Thats just the cost of storing the data. Someone has to oversee the program,
QC the certificates, mail them, accept credits from non-LoTW submissions,
validate specific mode qualifications of DXpeditions, etc.
Then there is the cost of additional storage, cpu horsepower, etc. These
include system admin, operations, utilities, etc.
Its not just disk operations and data selection.
