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 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.
