Absolutely agree Dave.  I am sure those who didn't make it in the log
probably feel differently.

When I made my QSO on 160 - it was my first QSO with them.  I had no idea
about how their web page was setup to show QSOs that occurred in the past
minute or two.  I brought up the web page - and my jaw hit the floor when I
saw a world map - with a line from their QTH to mine with "N6TR" in the
box.  This was very reassuring to say the least.  I found the QSO in my
LOTW confirmations later that day.

Very impressive!!

I was able to use system to determine they busted my callsign - nearly in
real time - on 20CW.  I was able to make a second QSO a few minutes later
and verify that they logged me correctly.
