If you had an upload during that period you need to change it in some 
way and reupload it.
I check all my uploads and found it before this came out.

Monday evening just before the Connecticut Governor's shutdown went into 
effect at 8PM, ARRL IT rushed to relocate and reconfigure some computer 
room hardware.  The goal was to improve the odds that Logbook would be 
able to gracefully tolerate and/or recover from power interruptions 
without human intervention during their prolonged absence.
In their rush, something must have been missed that resulted in 
triggering an error and failing for SOME uploads.  This applies to SOME 
(but not all) uploads from 23Z Monday the 23rd to 09Z Tuesday the 24th .
The only way for a user to know if their upload was affected is to check 
their Activity report on the LoTW web site. SOME logging programs will 
check for which QSOs have not been uploaded and then upload them again 
so the issue is self-correcting for such users
One caveat for old school users is that the identical-duplicate log 
detection in Logbook is real simple. The routine is unaware of whether 
the same file had previously triggered an exception and should be 
allowed a second chance at the processor. So subsequent uploads of the 
exact same file -- even after the problem was corrected -- bring no joy: 
identical retries are summarily rejected as duplicates.  Some minimal 
change must be made to the log for it to escape detection by the 
automaton guarding the gates.

The suggestion is to just swap two of the log records. This is easy to 
do when feeding an ADIF file to TQSL .It is not so easy if there is a 
logging program trying to upload the exact same QSO sequence. For those 
cases one might have to alter the time of one QSO by a second. Or just 
make another QSO and add it to the upload.
