[SJDXA] LoTW and DXCC update

[N2OO]

The following is posted on the ARRL LoTW page:

July 12, 2024: 
To all Award participants:

The ARRL Awards System has (3) flow processes:  One process is 
Logbook; one process is Paper Applications by Mail; and the last 
process bring Logbook and Paper Applications together in a Master 
DXCC Processing System.  At present, while the Logbook program is 
now allowing customers to submit/complete Award applications online 
(this began about July 1st), the Master DXCC Processing System 
remains offline, therefore we are not yet able to fully complete 
final processing of any DXCC applications at this time.  As soon as 
the Master DXCC Processing System is back on line, we can then 
finish the final processing of Paper or Logbook applications 
received.

Worked All States (WAS) applications, endorsement stickers and 
certificates are able to be processed and certificates are able to 
be printed and mailed, as they do not flow through the Master DXCC 
Processing System. 

VUCC applications are being processed and completed, however 
certificates cannot yet be printed as we have some remaining IT 
matters to complete with our in-house printer used for VUCC 
certificates. 

Please also note that as the "Online DXCC" application system is 
not yet operational - it too is tied to the Master DXCC Processing 
System currently offline. 

Future updates regarding Awards processing will be posted here, and 
will be available from the ARRL website under the ARRL Systems 
Service Disruption header at http://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-systems-
service-disruption 

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

73. Bob Schenck, N2OO
