Hi,
I should have qualified my "runs so poorly" statement, or left it out
entirely as it was peripheral to my point.
The uploading log-jam problem was fixed a while back and there is new TQSL
software which is slick as can be and doesn't leave .tq8 files cluttering
my computer.
However, there are other problems and I've encountered many of them. The
ARRL recognizes this and has set up a subcommittee to deal with 'the
"technical debt" owed because Logbook's success has outrun its original
design.'
Go to the LoTW home page and look at the news items along the left side,
particularly those from

Also look at W4TV's reply (below). He states it better than I can.
Thanks for all the LoTW confirmations.

your claim of "run so poorly". I just renewed my certificate and it was
a completely user friendly experience, and I find the TQSL single program
interface from which you can do everything is far better than prior tools.
I uploaded 3000 Qs and within a day they had been posted to my account.
What did you find wrong?

It's easy to hide a problem by spending $$$ to move it to faster
hardware. To date nothing significant has been done to resolve what
the LotW Advisory Committee calls LotW's "substantial technical debt."
A second developer has not been hired to focus specifically on fixing
basic issues with the LotW code and implementing new awards (e.g. WAZ).
Now staff wants a *second* system (why don't they fix the disk system
and use the old hardware?) as a test platform, etc. and the current
IT Manager is wasting time on things like the ARRL Centennial QSO
Party ... and disabling features that don't work correctly.
LotW will get praise when it is fixed ... putting a bigger engine in
front of a transmission that is inefficient doesn't fix the problems
in the transmission even though the car goes faster for a while.
