Roger...
As a new ham operator (1 year now).. I'm impressed by ARRL and what they do.
The publications, the website and licensing information and support. The fair
cost of membership, the speed of package deliver to Hawaii, email response.
The only thing I can complain about is the backlog
And while you're at it, why shouldn't SO Assisted be separated from
Multi-single? That is a relic of the earliest days of packet, and
hasn't made sense for at least 20 years.

Maybe because XE is in NA while Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Venezuela
are not. And maybe, Mexican states are as important to Mexicans as US
States and VE provinces are to their northern neighbors.

That's a favored operator's view of things. There are, for all
practical purposes, three major 160M contests (ARRL, and the two CQWW
events), and their rules all strongly favor the

We should face a couple of facts. Budget wise ARRL is a very small
outfit, serving a very small population. DXCC is just a fraction, and
not a very vital fraction, of ARRL's efforts. What's probably more vital
to the future success of Amateur Radio is not us reprobate dinosaurs
with ohmygosh
After several frustrating weeks of trying to figure out why
my ARRL LOTW uploads were not registering I decided to
contact the company. It seems they are back logged beyond
comprehension. Not even the most recent DX-Peditions who
have uploaded all there logs are showing up. As a result
The queue is currently almost 10 days behind. You can track it here

Everyone keeps uploading over and over and over because they don't see
their QSO's, which likely is compounding the problem to massive levels.

Herb,
I complained in past posts about the lack of fairness in the
ARRL 160 Meter Contest for not treating the U.S. Territories
as DX, no not even KP1 or KP5, none. But with the ARRL 10
Meter contest that followed, stations located in the U.S.
Territories are indeed DX as it should be.
Joe, I don't ask for bothjust wish to be treated the same way as
another station a few miles north (VP2V) . Actually there is little
DX on during this contest compared to the others like CQ and TBDC.
The ARRL has a list of DXCC entities which works for all their other
contests but for

ARRL 160 meter contest is based on *Sections*. KP2 and KP4 are
*SECTIONS* as are South Florida, North Florida, West Central Florida
and any other section. It makes no earthly sense to change the rules
for one or two sections after thirty plus years of the contest.
If you don't like the rules,

Only in part -- it's also based on DX entities as multipliers, and
US/VE stations get 2.5X the point credit for a QSO with a DX station.
