Thanks, Greg, for confirming that you are also hearing the same questions. Thanks, Jim, for the A&F update. Now my question is how do we get the promise converted into print on the new website, even though it's doubtful anyone could find it, and then get the action taken. It seems that many of our members have excellent memories, but that the folks making the implementation commitments do not seem to recall that they did so. As many folks on this reflector have noted, it is embarrassing to continually offer promises to our members on this, and other issues, yet never see any of them come to fruition. Can anyone offer a solution with a high probability of success? Bob Vallio -- W6RGG On Sun, May 30, 2010 at 8:05 PM, Jim Weaver K8JE <K8JE@arrl.org> wrote:
Yes, indeed, Bob.
According to assurances given to A&F in January, VUCC on LoTW as well as direct field entry to Logbook are to be completed by the end of this year. VUCC via Logbook was indicated to be first in line.

This is a sample of the type of mail I receive on this subject. Are there other Directors also receiving this question. Please let me know.
Once again this is a lively discussion on the VHF discussion boards regarding LOTW failure to support VUCC.
This occurs once or twice a year. Frankly, even though I'm extremely upset and frustrated that LOTW still does not support VUCC, I've basically give up on ever seeing it implemented. LOTW went live in Sept of 2003 thus we are coming up on seven years now and no VUCC support.
In addition, best I can tell VUCC support is not even on the schedule of items to be implemented. Oh, I heard from time to time the some league official/director says VUCC support is "high priority" but never a schedule. If it was truly "high priority" it would have already been implemented.
Is there a schedule for implementing VUCC support in LOTW? If so, what is the schedule?
Any thing you can do to get VUCC support implemented in LOTW would be appreciated.
Thanks, Bob -- W6RGG
