I thought the WRL desktop app would open on my laptop even if i had no internet when i went to do my first pota, but it did not. Sorry just an old man trying to get back in Amateur radio.Very confused as what to do with no internet and how to log my contacts. Sorry for the inconvenience.

@VE3RPY When you have internet just open the desktop app and authenticate then after you’ve authenticated once you’re good to go. just dont log out as there is no reason to.
