[CQ-Contest] CHECKLOGS -- another view CQWW-wise

When did I NOT say that LotW wasn't alive & well?

W5VX speculated that "the ARRL has never been entirely on board with LOTW".
I was just pointing out that Wayne N7NG was a big, vocal proponent of it
when he was at Hq.  If there's someone who feels the same way about LotW at
Hq presently, then they're not as public or as vocal.  

You know, this is almost funny.  Here I'm getting blasted for appearing to
suggest that LotW isn't doing well -- when that's not what I said -- and
over on the QRZ forums, I'm getting blasted as an ARRL puppet for blindly
supporting LotW as the latest and greatest thing since sliced bread.

When you guys make up your minds which it is, let me know, OK?  

Happy Thanksgiving to all celebrating today.

73, ron w3wn

I'd say with a multi-day backlog at the moment combined with nearly 380  
million uploaded QSOs that LoTW is very much alive and well. In fact, the  
combination of the CQWW SSB and SS contests have made ARRL's LoTW IT  
infrastructure turn white hot! And, wait until CQWW CW logs hit the system
next  week!
 
Is this another situation looking for a problem?
 
For those celebrating the holiday today, Happy Thanksgiving to all!
 
73 John, K1AR

It's too  bad that LotW doesn't appear to have an advocate at Hq. like Wayne
N7NG  was.  He had a real passion for the program, and to be honest,  I
haven't seen that level of enthusiasm for it since he  retired.
