Update July 1, 2024. LoTW is back up! It is running slow, but it is available. Thank goodness.
--
When I wrote the article back in May, I hardly thought that LoTW would be down a month later.
Sadly, the outage continues.
My suspicions were correct, however, that this was something more than a simple networking problem. The ARRL has since admitted their network was viciously and uniquely hacked. I can certainly understand their caution to make sure that every system linked to LoTW is given a clean bill of health before turning the system back on.
Earlier this week, on Tuesday there was apparently a brief period of time when LoTW was accessible. A couple of my ham buddies managed to upload some contacts. They'll have to wait for confirmations when the rest of us can get in.
I do hope it is soon. I'm really missing this service.
