Sudden LOTW loading problem


 

OK, prior to the contest last week I had no trouble uploading/downloding to and from AC LOG to LoTW.
I used Scott's contest software for the contest, submitted my log to the ARRL and then imported it (only 229 contacts) into AC LOG.
I then have tried multiple times to download to LoTW using the usual method and get this message every time. Does anyone have any idea what could have happened?

Have you looked at the NZ2S certificate to see if it has expired?

Hi Jeff,

Is your LoTW certificate out of date?

As others have said - sounds like your ARRL TQSL certificate has expired.? I recall that happens every 3 years (?), but unsure of the exact time.
?
ARRL should have notified you of the pending expiration and renewal process, but the last time mine expired a strange thing happened when attempting to renew.
?
My ARRL.net email alias which I use for ham radio communications would NOT forward the new certificate.? They tried sending it to me twice - no success.? They then suggested I simply log into LoTW and download the new certificate manually, which worked fine.? Note - I almost never log into LoTW since N3FJP does such a great job easily up & downloading contacts / confirmations with simple mouse clicks.
?
Didn't think much about the email problem until I returned an Icom radio for repair.? Icom's service center tried to send me a UPS label as a PDF email attachment - again using my same ARRL email address.? They tried twice, unsuccessfully.? The service tech then suggested we try a different (non ARRL) email address, mentioning some similar difficulty in the past.? My alternate email address worked perfectly, as expected.? So my takeaway is that the ARRL.net? email alias system does not always properly forward messages with attachments (or at least was having problems about a year and half ago).? No idea if it's a know problem, but thought it ironic the first occurrence I noticed was with a message originated by ARRL itself!
