[SFDXA] ARRL LOTW Submission

[Thomas, David, KM4NYI (SM, TN)]

Good to hear from you, Steve.

I was told they were going to begin processing orders for plaques once the backlog of contacts was processed. Hopefully it will be soon.

Like you, I’m keeping my fingers crossed there will be a substantial investment made into updating the IT processes in Newington and will continue to encourage our Directors to allocate the funds necessary for this important work.

I believe it’s imperative the league has systems in place that are appropriately modernized and ready for today’s IT environment.

Hope you had a good Thanksgiving.

73,

Subject: ARRL LOTW Submission


I noticed that my LOTW application, submitted in early July, has finally been processed after a 5-month turnaround to process just 30 electronic QSOs. Now, I’ll be curious to see when my DXCC Challenge plaque, which I ordered, will arrive—perhaps I’ll receive it before my first SS check clears.

This highlights the need for the ARRL to prioritize IT and management improvements. The organization would greatly benefit from a leadership team that approaches these areas with the urgency and professionalism they require, in order to better serve its members.
