During routine maintenance of the ARRL’s virtual server environment by our outside hardware vendor today a condition that requires immediate attention was identified. As such we will be taking the virtual server environment at Headquarters down from 7 pm to 10 pm EDT tonight. Systems that will be affected include general e-mail, reflectors, the bulk mail system, LoTW, On-line DXCC and the Centennial QSO Party web site. E-mail will be queued during the downtime.

I will send another message once everything is back up later tonight.

73,
