[SCCC] LOTW

[Dave LaBat]

Mine has not processed yet, but my bi-monthly update of about 50 Q went
through Monday night. Very odd, the entry point must take logs by size and
give them priority. Hope it gets through soon!

As an additional point of reference (a couple of others have commented about
the delay), my CQWW log was finally processed today. I submitted it Oct 30,
so call it nine days to process. Interestingly, I submitted a few Q's from
my normal day to day log on Nov 5. That submission was processed within
hours. Not sure how that submission got high priority and "took cuts" over
everyone else in line. I submitted my ARRL SS log on Nov 6 a short time
after the contest ended. It will be interesting to see how long that one
takes to process.

Please do not interpret this as me being critical of ARRL LOTW. Quite the
contrary. I admire the effort the ARRL has put into LOTW. I simply suspect
that they may not have been prepared for this year's onslaught of CQWW
submissions. I simply posted this as feedback about how long my logs took to
process at this time.

QSL method, and much more economical. Not to mention faster!  Someday, I
hope LOTW will be accepted for CQ awards (WAZ, WPX, etc) and other non-ARRL
awards.
