Are we having issues with LoTW again? Got this message this evening from a Maxim Society member in the Atlantic Division. Thanks. - Bill N3LLR I am sorry to continue my rant, year after year, however as long as the ARRL Director's fail to take the appropriate action to fix the root problems at HQ - nothing will change. The Director's continue to accept sub par performance from the people who are paid to do a job and consistently do not deliver. LoTW one again is a laughing example of poor management. eQSL processes more logs with ease. Here is what LoTW says now: Fatal error: initializeLOTWDB: -709 - CONNECT: (cannot connect to server socket): General database error [initializeLOTWDB: -709 - CONNECT: (cannot connect to server socket)]
