All, Yes, but we NEED everything NOW. Let's just call DXCC Entities on the Land Line (or cell system) and have them fax a confirmation so we can say we "talked" to all entities. I got my bureau cards yesterday and opening the envelope was as exciting (well maybe - I have UH8 and UI8 confirmed)as back in the 60's. But, we need so serve our members and insure that this recent tool does provice almost instant confirmations. 73 Jim K9JF
For those of us who used to wait for months and years for QSL cards, LotW is wonderful, even with 11 day delays! But our electronic world has raised our expectations to âinstantâ service!
You got it, Cliff. I remind folks of that all the time. I remember how we waited for those rare Russian cards coming via the bureau, hoping that UH8 and UI8 cards were in the pile. (hi) Opening a bureau shipment became a ceremony!

Before the Logbook Queue Status page started reporting zero queue size, the 12:56 UTC report today showed an approximate 25% drop in the bytes in the queue from the previous hour. If accurate, that could be great news about reducing the backlog.
I uploaded my monthly LoTW TQ8 file (with no dupes) earlier this morning, and it has not been processed, so I suspect the zero queue size reporting is in error. It would be interesting to know if the routine maintenance yesterday included putting the new SSD drives online, or whether they are still in testing and configuration.

Comes up OK when I log in, although I also observed zeroes in the Queue table. 73,

Does anyone know if part of LOTW has crashed? The Queue reads all zeros.
