Re: [DX-NEWS] LOTW still off-line
ARRL Information Technology Manager Michael Keane, K1MK, is reporting that while Logbook of The World (LoTW http://www.arrl.org/logbook-of-the-world) system is currently down, it is expected to be back up by 9 AM EST (1400 UTC) on Friday, November 9. While the system is temporarily down, radio amateurs are not able to access LoTW or upload their logs, Keane explained. No data has been lost, and everyone's records are intact. We understand the problem and we are in the process of restoring service to LoTW. Since both the Logbook of The World service and the Online DXCC http://www.arrl.org/news/online-dxcc-application-to-debut-april-2 service are connected to the ARRL Awards System, radio amateurs are not able to access either service until the system is restored. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and want to assure the amateur community that the ARRL is working diligently to restore service to these popular programs. From the ARRL Letter...

I know that Logbook being down is unfortuante, and it's a pain, but things like this happen sometimes, despite the best intentions, procedures, precautions, and backups. Just ask any other IT professional... we've all dealt with situations like this (or worse) at one time or another, given enough time in the field. Wild speculation isn't going to help any. It is unfortunate that DX World published the claim that ~45% of recent data had been lost -- and I don't blame MM0NDX for publishing it, as he received the alleged story from two or more sources. But pending accurate information from the League to the contrary, I would take any such claim (especially one that vague) with a huge grain of salt. Now with that all in mind... maybe the time has come to upgrade the LotW servers related infrastructure. And the user interface could certainly use a little sprucing up, it's age is showing (though granted, it's clearly designed to be functional, not pretty). These things can cost money... lots of money. (Even if you, as a web designer, donate your time, your time is has value to it). So I'd humbly suggest that you start thinking of ways to improve the system, and ways to present them in a positive way to the League... and that may include outright cash donations or other fund raisers. That strikes me as a more positive exercise that wringing our hands, going oh woe is us! LotW is down and otherwise acting like the proverbial Chicken Little. 73, ron w3wn --- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.

Bernie, W3UR The recent NJDX reflector needs clarification re 9N You may quote the following: To the DX community: Although banned from posting to the NJDX Reflector, I still can read it. 9N1AA, Satish's, wife has obtained a license and the call sign of 9N1MM. Many remember this as Father's Moran's call but efforts to get it as a club call have not materialized. Now the call sign is protected by Satish and his wife who can be sure to use it wisely. Soon, the new 9N1MM will have a TS-570S donated by American ham efforts. Thus, Six Meters can be activated from 9N land. Congratulations to all the new 9N licensees! 73 -- Charly, HS0ZCW --- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.

Re: [DX-NEWS] QSL from KZ5BB?
Here is another reference to Dr. Henry Stockwell of the Canal Zone, evidently an amateur entemologist, referred to in the text as a medical doctor. Scroll to the bottom of the PDF file for the article. There is a picture of Dr. Stockwell. http://www-museum.unl.edu/research/entomology/Newsletter/Scarabs36.pdf And finally, here is Dr. Henry Stockwell, 48 years of experience, pediatrician in NC. Referenced is a research paper on boy in the Canal Zone. I'm betting this is your man. http://www.ucomparehealthcare.com/drs/north_carolina/pediatrics/Stockwell_Henry.html The rest is up to you. Good luck. Jari Jussila wrote: KZ5BB, Henry Stockwell, was very active in early 1970's from Canal Zone.
