Hi John,

I think there was a public announcement on this a few weeks back.  They are processing applications, but at the time they were 3500 applications behind!  

Online DXCC is also down.  When they started doing the applications again, they decided not to fire up Online DXCC.  It could be from the backlog or maybe the website needs to be updated or both?  Don't remember, but there was a lot of updating and some web pages are simply not up to date!!  They are working hard to get everything restored.  

There are still some pages down from the hack.  I've been telling guys here to give them some time and not get in a hurry.  

BTW, the folks I know that process these applications are awesome!  They have been known to work during the holidays and even weekends!  I would be willing to bet, they will be caught up faster than anyone else could do in the same situation!  

One person I deal with all the time is Sharon Taratula.  She is one of the unsung heroes before all this happened and I am sure she will be the one of those people involved that gets this caught up ASAP!
