[ADXA] FW: LOGBOOK OF THE WORLD RETURNS TO SERVICE

[w5znjoel at gmail.com]

By now I’m sure you have all seen the news that LoTW is back up and running.

 

Now, let’s all follow the instructions below from ARRL - PLEASE!!!!!  There is no need for you to overload the system by re-uploading your entire log history to LoTW. The data is there. I just logged in and checked my QSO’s and my DXCC totals. They are all there, safe and sound, just like ARRL told us and just as they were before the good folks at ARRL were forced to pull LoTW down to make sure your data remained safe. I do not plan to upload any QSO’s for a couple of weeks to allow the system to catch up with what I’m sure is a flood of QSO’s in the que from folks hopping up and down on once leg, about to pee in their pants, to upload their outstanding Q’s.

 

If, for some odd reason, you don’t believe your data is there, before you start re-uploading tons of QSO’s simply check to see the QSO’s in your record and check your DXCC totals. That will be confirmation that all is well so hang on a bit longer to start uploading Q’s.

 

I realize this has been frustrating to have a service we have grown to rely on to have been off line for about six weeks but imagine the frustration, diligence, and hard work the ARRL staff went through and put forth to get this back on line as quickly as they did, and safely!

 

So, while you’re waiting for LoTW to catch up over the next few days “GET IN THERE AND WORK” a few more to pass the time.

MEMBER BULLETIN

  

July 1, 2024

  

Dear ARRL member,

  

Effective 12:00pm ET / 16:00 UTC we will be returning Logbook of The World® (LoTW®) to service. 

 

As work progressed on the network, some users encountered LoTW opening briefly during which some 6600 logs were uploaded. The logs were not processed until this weekend as we tested that the interfaces to LoTW were functioning properly.

We are taking steps to help manage what will likely be a huge influx of logs. We are requesting that if you have large uploads, perhaps from contests or from a DXpedition, please wait a week or two before uploading to give LoTW a chance to catch up. We have also implemented a process to reject logs with excessive duplicates. Please do not upload your entire log to “ensure” your contacts are in LoTW as they will be rejected. Lastly, please do not call ARRL Headquarters to report issues you are having with LoTW. You can contact support at  <mailto:LoTW-help at arrl.org> LoTW-help at arrl.org.

 

Through the end of the year, you may experience planned times when LoTW will be unavailable. We have been using this time to evaluate operational and infrastructure improvements we would like to make to LoTW. Those times will be announced.

We appreciate your patience as we worked through the challenges keeping LoTW from returning to service. We know the importance of LoTW to our members, and to the tens of thousands of LoTW users who are not ARRL members. LoTW, just behind QST, is our second most popular ARRL benefit.
