[Bill Mader]

One more point about logging FT8 contacts.  You should avoid uploading
single contacts frequently to LoTW.  Doing so uses more LoTW processing
time than if you upload an entire day's (24 hours) worth of contacts.  This
increases availability for others and is a far more efficient use of
LoTW's processing resources.  In effect, you'll be a better LoTW
"neighbor."  Thanks!

Because we can do things doesn't necessarily mean we should.
