[ARRL-ODV:10557] LoTW Schedule Revised
by Wilson, Mark K1RO 05 May '04

05 May '04

The LoTW system will be back up tomorrow morning (Thursday), not mid-day today as originally planned. When estimating the amount of time needed to build the award credit tables for each user, Jon based the calculations on 2.5 million QSL records. But of course each QSL record affects two user accounts, and the time calculation should have been based on 5 million records. Other than taking twice as long to crunch through the database, everything is going as expected. We'll have a note with the revised schedule on the LoTW Web site shortly. 73, Mark K1RO

Mark, I went looking for the message yesterday and over the weekend after an SM called me about it. I could not find it. The message I sent last week complaining that I had missed two messages was number 10518. I never received message 10519 but did get messages before and after. Very strange. Please send me a copy of that important message. Frank Fallon........ N2FF

Chris, you definitely earned the hot dogs. Congratulations on pulling this together under tremendous time and emotional pressure, and while juggling a few other things at the same time. 73, Dave HB9/K1ZZ -------- Message d'origine-------- De: Imlay, Chris (ARRL Counsel) Date: lun. 5/3/2004 9:26 À: arrl-odv Cc: Objet: [ARRL-ODV:10552] Copy of as-filed BPL comments OK, folks, the comments are finally filed with FCC.

Rick, the material was sent as attachments to ODV message 10519 last Tuesday, April 27. These files were attached: call to arms.doc Managing a Grassroots Campaign on BPL.doc Rep letter re Bush.doc Sen letter re Bush.doc BPL-leave-behind.pdf 040426 press release.doc bush1.doc It may well have been caught up in that Internet problem early last week. I'll send you a copy. If anyone else needs a copy please let me know. I'll also ask John Hennessee to send it to the SGL list and invite them to help stir the pot. 73, Mark K1RO > -----Original Message----- > From: Roderick, Rick (aol.com) > Sent: Monday, May 03, 2004 2:02 PM > To: arrl-odv > Subject: [ARRL-ODV:10547] Re: Grassroots BPL package > > > Mark: > > I was at a hamfest this weekend, the Louisiana State > Convention, and the grassroots campaign material question > came up.

BPL is a state issues, isn't it?? If not, I'd like to know what state it won't impact. I say lets send the package to the SGL's. Yes, I know they can download it, but let's give them a little "personal attention".

I was not aware that we had sent it to the SM's yet and when questioned, I had to say that I wasn't sure if what the SM was referring to was the special grassroots package or Dave's call to arms info on the Web site. Perhaps the Board got a copy of the final version of the grassroots package info and I just missed it. There were a few days a week or so ago that some ODV mail didn't get through here. In any event, it would be good to distribute a copy of the grassroots info to the Board so we know what was in it. Also, has it been sent to the clubs yet? Have we thought about the SGL reflector? Yep, I can hear Sumner saying now that the SGL's are for state issues (hi), but hey, it won't hurt, after all, it's a "call to arms!" 73, Rick - K5UR
