Thanks!
OK, now I need to "reinstate" my LoTW cert (actually, apply for a new one)
If you still have the username/password or email address (to receive a password reset), getting a new one signed is really fast. The slow part of the process is receiving the postcard in the mail, which you shouldn't have to do again. We'll eventually support our own HamWAN certificate authority. ARRL was the first popular certificate authority to embed callsigns in the certificates. They put the callsign under "1.3.6.1.4.1.12348.1.1". We plan to release some instructions for generating a certificate and certificate signing request with your callsign embedded at that location. Then we'll sign certificates after verifying your license. It's very convenient that the ARRL already does this for us, for free. Tom KD7LXL
