Not sure how "current" their delay announcements are, as a CQWW log uploaded on 12/1 has yet to be processed. But on the other hand, DXCC submissions via LoTW are super-fast. Submitted my "annual" update last evening at 8:40 and had all accredited at 9:49. So some parts are working well.... *Steve, N3SL* Sioux City, IA CQ4 ITU7 EN12 On Mon, Dec 10, 2012 at 3:09 PM, Joe Subich, W4TV <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Delay keeps growing.
