Hi All,
As a follow up, as I wade through all these e-mail, I'm dismayed that
ARRL is blaming AC Log.? One user writes:
" I just got off
the phone with ARRL and got royally chewed out for even calling them
since it was an "ACLog issue".? Apparently he's had over 100 calls so
far is getting fed up with the problem, but still no excuse to be
rude.? "
Many folks have received the canned ARRL e-mail response:
"LoTW does not support logging software.? If you have problems using
your software with LoTW please consult your logging software page for
support."
This is ridiculous and utter nonsense. AC Log worked fine with LoTW
until they began to implement their server changes.? To direct all
these e-mail towards us when the problem is clearly their is extremely
disappointing, disheartening and may well affect future support of LoTW.
If you continue to have problems with LoTW,
please e-mail
lotw-help@arrl.org.

Hi All,
I am receiving hundreds of reports of problems with LoTW.
The following is from
"Glitch Delays Launch of New ARRL Web Site (Mar 24, 2010 [REVISED
Mar 25, 2010 13:55 ET]) -- The ARRL’s launch of a new Web site has been
delayed following problems that appeared as the huge computer programs
were being transferred to their main Web server. Normally the Web site
connects ham radio operators around the world, dynamically presenting
the services that ARRL offers the ham radio community at .
"When we tried to switch over to the new Web site today, we encountered
unanticipated technical issues during the process of transferring to
the new Web site," said ARRL Chief Operating Officer Harold Kramer,
WJ1B. "It appears that with all of the new technology and vast
simultaneous hits to the site, the code had problems keeping up. We are
working to fix the issues and should be online very soon. We have
temporarily switched back to the old Web site until these issues are
resolved. Obviously, we are trying to complete this transfer as quickly
as possible and we will keep you informed of our progress."
Apparently ARRL's problems are extending to LoTW.? This is a problem
with LoTW, not AC Log.
This information is from the LoTW User group Site (Bert - W0RSB):
In AC-Log go into the LoTW page and go into "LoTW Server Settings" and
change the LoTW Download URL to:
Keep in mind that we may need to change it back or to something else as
the ARRL keeps working on the new servers. - (so make a note of the
original URL).
AC Log has been working fine with LoTW.? This is an issue with LoTW /
ARRL and something they will have to correct, finalize and communicate
to us.? So far, they have not contacted me at all.? Hopefully the above
fix will continue to work, but if you continue to have trouble, please
contact the LoTW folks at lotw-help@arrl.org.
