Remember the days when you mailed in cards to the league and it took
3 months. to process?
I'll take 10 days over that anytime.
It used to take 6 years to get your cards back from Box 88. Now I
see even our Russian friends are on LOTW. And I had my PT0S 160 Qso
confirmed in days.
LOTW even at 20 days is a tremendous tool. I'm confident they'll
figure this out, it's probably not a hardware issue only, but the
database bogging down under the mountain of data. These things
aren't as easily managed and scaleable as they appear to people not
in the IT world.
I don't understand the angst over a backlog of processing data during
the end of the year rush. Unless the world really is going to end in
a week like the Mayans predicted.

That is if you *believe* the claim that the hardware will fix it.
With a very large database, decreases in throughput can just as
easily be due to reaching a tipping point in the database structure
(the point at which the indexing fails). Since there has been no
diagnostic data reported to support the hardware hypothesis, users
are left in a "trust me" position while the processing delay vaults
past ten days as of approximately 16:30z today - on its way to 20
days by the end of the month.

raises your blood pressure.
