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

Might want to consider creating a filter for the thread? Maybe filter

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

SO, please let me ask; what do the complainers expect to accomplish
by continuing to kick this horse?
How about getting others involved in *doing something* about the
problem? Since the ARRL
Barry,
The reported backlog is simply the time between upload of the last
processed file and the reporting epoch. It is a backward looking
statistic and not predictive.
If you want predictive, look at the number of QSOs in the queue
- which continues to increase - and apply an value for
Go to the LOTW site and read carefully. There is a discussion that
tells, in part, that new hardware is on order, and is expected to arrive
in 6-8 weeks. THEY ARE WORKING ON IT!!! RELAX!!! Constantly getting

the Logbook server... kvetching about it on this reflector will not accomplish
anything. And I
That's correct, Ron. You complain about it to your division director,
who will speak on your behalf.
But there's nothing wrong with discussing it here, IMO. Maybe they DO
read things here... I work in web technology for a living, and you
know what? Sometimes I do go searching the web for things
OK, great idea, and then what? If we believe that the present IT dept
isn't being truthful with us, why should we expect that our 'insisting
will change anything?
Quite sometime ago I suggested to my director that LoTW be shut down for
as long as necessary to achieve a long term solution.
