[arrl-odv:19568] VUCC on LoTW is ready to launch
by Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

We have just added VUCC to the list of awards supported by Logbook of the World. Those of us who have a VUCC award that was issued long ago - i.e. in the days when the records were entered with a quill pen on parchment - and have not had it endorsed more recently will not be able to apply for an endorsement based on LoTW credits right away, because the old paper record will have to be synced with what's in LoTW. Right now the #1 priority in the awards branch is completing the processing of 2010 DXCC applications, so dealing with that particular VUCC issue will have to wait a bit. 73, Dave K1ZZ

[arrl-odv:19567] RE: Record breaking snow in CT

The final figure for BDL was 25 inches of snow, all in one day. HQ is operating normally today. Dave From: James F. Boehner MD [mailto:jboehner01@yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2011 10:58 PM To: arrl-odv Subject: Record breaking snow in CT It looks like CT received the same storm that dumped quite a bit of snow and ice in SC. It is noteworthy if we get ANY snow, let alone snow that sticks around for a day or two. Our temperatures will be down to a low of 18 degrees tonight-a challenge for our heating and insulation here. I remember going to the board meeting last January, wishing to see finally see snow after not seeing it for 4 years. I didn't get my wish, but have seen it here 3 times since. You have to watch what you wish for! Hopefully CT will allow safe travel next week for the meeting. See y'all there!

Those of us in the hills, and possibly elsewhere in the state, have a bit more than that to contend with. Two feet is probably a good number given that with this much, a couple of inches one way or the other doesn't make much difference. Things should be back to normal tomorrow, assuming that those of us who are still waiting get plowed out by tomorrow morning. Dave K1ZZ
