The never-ending website fiasco.  I have heard that the contractor had
a 6-figure contract for the site.

I had not heard that there was a concerted effort to write to
directors about this else I would have (most of my messages to my Div
Dir of late have been complaints about the "improved" website).

Looking at past emails, however, I did ask for that to be added this
time last year.  I got an email back from an HQ staffer that said, in
part "... we are looking at bringing on additional programming
resources at HQ to help across all our projects, not just LOTW."

The wheels sure move slowly in Newington.  Perhaps their email was delayed.

No VUCC for me until it's in LoTW
