"This message is just an advance notification that the next maintenance outage for the ARRL network is planned for Sunday, June 12, 2016 from 7 am to 7 pm, (1100 UTC to 2300 UTC). " I checked the LoTW Status and find the most recent entry displayed to be "2016-06-12 11:59:01" The current time is 2016-06-13 01:02:00 I then tried to log on to LoTW and received this message: "Fatal error: initializeLOTWDB: -709 - CONNECT: (cannot connect to server socket): General database error [initializeLOTWDB: -709 - CONNECT: (cannot connect to server socket)]" There may yet be folks working on the system maintenance. I did not want to call HQ to interfere, if that is the case. If not, I hope this note will result in someone working on this problem. Bob W6RGG
