[SFDXA] LOTW Time Lag

[Kai Siwiak]

I uploaded a time stamped file on 11/30.  It took 6 days and 23 hours before it 
was processed.  On 11/28 ARRL fixed A bug (noted in Pete's email), but not THE 
bug. What they fixed was related to overwritten files.  The system is still 
slow.  In the April-July time frame they were processing an average of 390,000 
QSOs per day. During late November that rate was about 170,000 QSOs per day, not 
counting the mysterious unexplained 3 1/2 day period when they processed exactly 
ZERO files.  In the last few days they are processing at a rate of about 280,000 
QSOs per day, but the queue seems to be growing. The system is diverging! Not 
good for any data processing operation.

Conclusion:
- They fixed a problem specific to the overwriting of files, but not THE problem 
of crappy performance.
- They continue to ignore user suggestions and complaints.
- The Directors are acting like buffers who respond directly to members, but 
they and are not carrying user concerns to HQ. They need to be called on account.
- The system is diverging and needs serious attention quickly.
