Hello from Ho Chi Minh City where it is 7:00 AM Wednesday, the morning of the third day of the four-day IARU Region 3 Conference. I am secretary of Working Group 1 (Policy). Jay Bellows is here as well. Since it is after office hours in Connecticut I will post the answer Michael Keane gave to this question about five hours ago. Of course, everyone is frustrated whenever there is an outage of this length. 73, Dave Sumner, K1ZZ From: Michael Keane, K1MK [mailto:mkeane@arrl.org <mailto:mkeane@arrl.org> ] Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2012 2:08 PM To: McClenny, Bernie (w3ur) Cc: Moore, Bill, NC1L (ARRL Awards Branch); Patton, David NN1N Subject: Re: FW: Lotw Hi Bernie, Bill Moore asked me to respond, and in answer to "Is this true?": Absolutely Not. Yes, we obviously are having a problem with the Logbook system and are presently working to restore Logbook service. However, no data has been lost in this incident. 73, Mike K1MK ________________________________ From: arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org on behalf of Brian Mileshosky Sent: Tue 11/6/2012 11:25 PM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:21186] LoTW lost data?

Brian Mike, Harold and Barry have all stated no data was lost. The error message returned by LoTW was a little too cryptic for some. Mike contacted DXWorld after the post you linked to in your email to assure them no loss occurred. The rumor is up on some of the nets, though. It would not hurt to squelch the rumor with a posting by the League. Adding language to the LoTW Off Line link that no data, contrary to rumor has been lost, would be effective. If DXWorld corrects its post, or posts Mike's email statement, the rumors should die down. It hasn't as of this response. 73 *-----------------------------------------------------* ** John Robert Stratton N5AUS Office telephone: 512-445-6262 Cell: 512-426-2028 PO Box 2232 Austin, Texas 78768-2232 *-----------------------------------------------------* On 11/6/12 5:25 PM, Brian Mileshosky wrote:
