Hi, We added some additional information to the LoTW pages web pages late this afternoon. Here is the information about these changes that I posted on the LoTW blog page. --------------------------------------------- LoTW's status in http://www.arrl.org/logbook-of-the-world <http://mymail.arrl.org/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.arrl.org/logbook-of-the-world> will be updated daily to convey information of interest to the user community, including planned downtime and changes that will impact operations. In addition, the state of LoTW's processing queue is now updated hourly in http://www.arrl.org/logbook-queue-status <http://mymail.arrl.org/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.arrl.org/logbook-queue-status> . Updated hardware to improve LoTW's throughput is on order and expected in six to eight weeks. We appreciate the user community's patience while we while work to bring LoTW's performance to an acceptable level.

I wanted to get it to you in advance so you could direct people to the information. In case you were not aware, the updated hardware was approved by the A & F Committee at their meeting. Barry Shelley and Mike Keane made the presentation to the Committee about the hardware upgrade. Also, thanks to Volunteer, Dave Bernstein, AA6YQ, for his help and contribution so far with this LoTW upgrade project. 73, Harold Harold Kramer, WJ1B Chief Operating Officer ARRL - The National Association for Amateur Radio 225 Main Street Newington , CT 06111 860 594 0220 www.arrl.org
