[SFDXA] LOTW Delays

[Kai Siwiak]

We'll they're gonna get lots of multiple uploads of the same files 
because they neglected to implement a simple acknowledgment for  file 
uploads. The current system behaves like a black-hole for files! No way 
to know if the upload was successful or not until the file is actually 
processed!  I sent in a suggestion that they implement a simple "file 
received" message following an upload. How did they miss that obvious 
tidbit?

I recommend that you send in a suggestion (is it to lotw at arrl.org?) to 
do just that.  Maybe if they hear from several folks they will actually 
make that improvement. I've uploaded files a second time if I don't see 
the first upload processed after an hour or so. This happens often. They 
caused their own problem.

My suggestion is already in on their "problems" form.
