[RTTY] W1AW/90 RTTY and LoTW

[Ford, Steve, WB8IMY]

I understand, Dick. I'm just like you--in the age of the Internet I expect my contacts to appear in on-line logs ASAP.  :-)
 
When I worked 3B9C on phone, the contact appeared in their on-line log within 24 hours. I still haven't been at the right place at the right time to work them on a digital mode, but I'm still trying.
 
Joe Carcia, the W1AW station manager, will be uploading to LoTW every 2 weeks, perhaps more often if the activity is fast and furious.
 
During the whole W1AW/90 operation, which extends through the rest of this year, I plan to put the station on the air in every digital mode available to me. I usually operate during my lunch break here at HQ, which falls somewhere between 1500 and 1700 UTC.
 
We have one of the new ICOM IC-7800 transceivers that we are evaluating and I hope to put it on the air from the station with the W1AW/90 call sign during the Volta RTTY competition next month. It would be interesting to see how it holds up in a contest environment.
 
Of course, you can expect to hear W1AW/90 on the air at other times as other staffers and guests get their opportunities to operate.

	Steve,
	
	Thanks for the response.  You were doing great and really had a RTTY pile up going.  The W1AW/90 is a neat project and will continue to draw attentions.  At first I though I screwed up the LoTW upload or did something wrong. Joe, NJ1Q, is probably double checking to make sure everything is correct before the batch upload to LoTW.  
	
	Many of us are spoiled with the online logs that are updated daily by the recent DX operations. The daily updates are great provided your CALL makes the list. I worked the 3B9C on 15 meter RTTY and when my QSO failed to show up on the list the next day I worked them again. Several days later my RTTY QSOs started showing up on line.   
	
	I enjoyed working W1AW/90 and feel many others will too.

		I was one of the W1AW/90 RTTY operators earlier this week. Although I'm not involved in log management, I believe they will be batch loading them into LoTW on a regular basis. The logging is networked between the various W1AW operating studios and they are still smoothing the rough edges. Joe Carcia, the W1AW station manager (jcarcia at arrl.org), can give you a better estimate of when the logs will be uploaded to LoTW.
