ARRL Announces Logbook of The World® Systems Upgrade

Dear LoTW user,

ARRL’s Logbook of The World® (LoTW®) is the 2nd most popular benefit among members. It is also an extremely popular service internationally for non-members, as it is the primary means for providing confirmations for ARRL Awards, such as DXCC and Worked All States.

As a part of the ongoing modernization of the ARRL systems infrastructure, LoTW will be receiving major upgrades to the operating system it is running on, the relational database system it uses to store and access logbook and awards data, and server hosting, where it will be fully migrated to the cloud. These changes will, among other improvements, ensure LoTW performance needs can be better met based on user demand.

LoTW will be unavailable from June 27 to July 2, 2025, to complete these upgrades. We will bring LoTW back online if it is available sooner than July 2.

Logbook of The World can be found at lotw.arrl.org. More information about the popular service is available at www.arrl.org/logbook-of-the-world.

If you are a user of LoTW and not an ARRL member, please become a supporter of LoTW by making a $20 (or more) donation to the ARRL LoTW Fund or visit www.arrl.org/donate.

Very 73, and see you on the air!

Looks sharp! I particularly like those countertops. Is that a Samsung range? We just replaced ours with a very similar model, and it's been great so far.

Ah yes, the ol' Sin of Onan

Removed gross drop ceiling installed in master bedroom at first of the year. Rerouted wiring for ceiling light/fan properly thru the attic. Installed 2x4 strapping, fresh 1/2" drywall, and scabbed in 12" of drywall to complete the wall to the ceiling that the original remodellers covered up with drop ceiling (previous owner)

I'm so sick of mudding, and it still looks a bit bumpy / wavy but we love the added ceiling height. Just put the first coat of paint on the ceiling earlier this week. The black ceiling is moody/cozy and covers a multitude of mud sins. Heavily considering refinishing the hardwood floor with the room still mostly empty.

Old houses are never square. Drywall tests the utter limits of my perfectionism. (Learned that hot mud isn't so hot for finish work)

Ditto on being tired... But things are starting to shape up. Good luck to everyone else with their projects. Not much else to do around here with single/negative temperature. Slow and steady wins the race!

Thanks for the share! Looks like that's a new release. I'm anticipating a full collab record. At least that's my hope.

Cool! I wonder, how does it compare to an EQD Hoof?

What breed of fire-breathing dog do we have here?

Miracles!

From what I gather, past insulator discoveries allowed electron flow in three or two dimensions, but this new discovery only allows flow in one dimension. I think of it like plumbing, where you have a tee, and the water (electrons) travel through the pipe in three directions (dimensions). Restricting the flow of electrons allows for better focus/flow, which makes for more precise electronic engineering methods.

An EE might be able to elaborate better than my crappy plumbing analogy.

I have not! Gotta give that a listen, thanks for the heads-up!
