[HCARC] Final Steps for Getting N5HR on Logbook of the World

[galeheise at windstream.net]

To All -

  We received the TQ6 file today via email so I went down to the Club Station and completed steps 4 & 5.  N5HR is now officially on LoTW.  While at the station I configured the Ham Radio Deluxe logging program to upload logs to LoTW (essentially Step #6).  2018 QSO logs were uploaded in two stages, 1789 QSOs from last year’s Field Day and 229 QSOs so far this year.  Our percentages of confirmed QSLs were 13.6% and 48.9% respectively netting an overall average of 17.6%.

  We have 43 states confirmed for a basic Worked All States (WAS) award and three DX countries for N5HR.

  Considering we started the process of getting onto LoTW February 2nd during Tech Corner, I was pleased it only took a little over a week to complete the entire process.  In addition, the computer system for LoTW is likely to have been recently upgraded because it only took about 3 minutes for the uploaded logs to show up on the LoTW website.

To All-

  At our last meeting during Tech Corner I followed the first two steps of getting N5HR set up on Logbook of the World.

  Step #3 requires taking the password off the postcard sent by the ARRL and uploading it into the ARRL password website location.  Since Bill Anderson received the password postcard today I just finished uploading the password.

  We should be receiving an email from the ARRL within three business days that will contain the Certificate in the form of a TQ6 file.

  If anyone needs help getting onto Logbook of the World just give me a call @ 830-896-9593 or send me an email.
