Description

ARRL Logbook of the World is an effort to create a valid and cross-checked record of ham radio contacts on the web instead of piles of cardboard. They do have separate registration procedure and certificates for security, however:

  • they might benefit from using GPG etc.
  • their web page does not permit the general "prove my other web identity by hosting a text file": maybe one would need to have a "virtual QSO" with a keybase representative?
