Herb et al - LoTW posted a note on Nov 21 that processing of logs is running 6 days behind. That may explain why some are not seeing their Qs.

Re: Topband: Spam:*******, PT0S
Lloyd, Perhaps some LOTW users have vanished from their system after their crash and their contacts are out in cyberspace somewhere. I think if their inbound does not see a valid code serial number it just refuses them without an error message. So as LOTW users with the same issue, I would presume, just keep loading and reloading. Therein the problem on their end just gets worse with more backlogs. Imagine what it will be after the CQ WW CW contest which end before anyone gets back to HQ.I always thought the inbound was handled without human interface. If that is not the case then it will be a long time before this gets resolved, maybe after Christmas causing some to miss Honor Roll listings. I think only one or two people are working in LOTW. Hopefully I can find where to send the OQRS Pay Pal. I know the general donation goes to George and I will send that too. But the OQRS information is not yet posted as far as I can determine.

Re: Topband: Spam:*******, PT0S
The LoTW files are, in fact, being processed. As far as I can tell, it is well into the Nov SS Phone logs based on the matches I have been getting today. I have also received 2 of the 4 expected matches for my PT0S contacts. Expect another huge delay after folks start uploading their CQWW DX CW logs. Patience is the order of the day (week?) as the ARRL addresses the load issues over the next few months. I do wish HQ was more communicative about what is going on and what steps they are taking. There is too much speculation and rumor flying around. 73, Tony K4QE -- 73, Tony K4QE ___ Topband reflector - topband@contesting.com
Re: Topband: Spam:*******, PT0S
I uploaded logs several days ago and they have not been processed as yet, Saw someplace that processing was taking a week or more. Seems punching them in by hand would be as efficient as the ARRL computer is these days. Major problems, maybe they went back to DOS and a 8088.

Re: Topband: Spam:*******, PT0S
Gary, I ran the tables on PT0S including 160 SSB. Nothing I have sent to LOTW is posted by the ARRL even where I look up the sent in QSO's. The last confirmation was listed as November 5, 2012. All the QSO's check with ClubLog. On the PT0S last day i put together a 3 element 6 meter beam and heard them calling CQ (I think via machine) both NP4A and i called them for a half an hour but no contact. Poor thinking and planning on my part as I could have done 6 meters as well if i would have planned for it. Worked TR8CA tonight and he was 599 in here on 50.110. I should write an article on how to make a three element 6 meter beam with PVC and cable ties in 1 hour!
