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 not concerned about 20 days for a confirmation. My concern is
20 days (or more) even before the initial transaction is processed
and I get confirmation that the QSOs are safely in the database.
I'm confident they'll figure this out, it's
Having read most of the comments critical of the time lag, I am reminded of
the time when it took forever to get confirmations via the mail and some
bureaus.
This whole issue seems to me to be centered among those who either can't
recall those days or the younger folks who suffer from what

Those days are irrelevant to the subject at hand and it has nothing to
do with instant gratification. It has to do with the current state of
technology, what it can provide, and what it should provide. There's

Every transaction-oriented software system has a performance bottleneck that
limits its throughput. Eliminating that bottleneck -- either by improving
the software or upgrading the hardware -- always reveals the next
bottleneck.
The ARRL has determined that LotW's throughput is limited by the

I've been reading comments on the LotW situation for several weeks now -- on
this reflector, on other email reflectors, and in the online forums for
several web sites.
Based on that overall picture, I think we can group the critical comments

Blaming the ARRL IT staff for the problem is pointless. I've dealt with
