[Elecraft] LOTW System problems?

[Scott Simpson]

Not sure of the architecture or the underlying process, but i assume its
something like:
1) take record from users and process into records
2) correlate records user submitted against all records for that particular
timestamp of the record.
3) shudder at the sheer volume of requests 😝

i don't know how liberal they are with QSO matching, if they only keyed on
certain fields, they could just hash those fields and key off those hashes
instead of trying to compare against all the other records.  its not an
easy problem to solve.
