[SCCC] Trouble getting LOTW certs

[Ryan Huggins]

I asked my section manager about this.  His response was that the ARRL put out an email that they were not processing TQSLs for "a while" and that there would be a backlog and to be patient.  He stated that the message also indicated not to call the office.

Sounds like you may just need to wait and hope you're near the front of the line.  If you'd still like to log, I suggest QRZ.  It's free, the setup is instant, and ARRL trusts them and allows them to upload your Qs to LotW (provided you have your cert on file with QRZ, which is also easy to do).

Easy and instant, the exact opposite of ARRL.  Modern technology and customer service, it's a wonderful thing!
