The user interface is merely a symptom of the design failure of the underlying architecture. If the "security requirements" led to the arcane "security"...
I agree that architecturally flawed systems in general can't be papered over with better UIs. I don't believe that LotW's security requirements were...
Just an FYI, Off and on today and this week there will be delays in log processing as we build tables for the DXCC award module and generally test the system. ...
Today I hit 500 QSL's (out of 10,000+ QSO's). This is not bad. In comparison, I have about 600 QSL's on Eqsl and it has been in operation a lot longer. A...
... They'll show up. For whatever reason, there is a misunderstanding that logs can be "trolled", and that some "post contest" log cleaning can take place....
Hello ARRL-LOTW, LoTW developers, please, is that that hard to place a note about "standard form" of IOTA number records to let the people know they ...
I think the problem is part technical and part philosophical. I have no idea of the technical difficulties, but it will take some effort and I would rather see...
? ... Jimbo I do exactly the same thing. It takes just a few moments. I've been doing it since the beta testing started. It's easy, even a blind wino like me...
... If you're not importing to a daily log program, you don't even need to create the ADIF. Just sign the Cabrillo file with tQSL and upload the signed copy...

... The ARRL cannot and based on the current authentication and security paradigm, arguably should not, automate the acceptance of contest QSOs uploaded...
I realize that but if and only if it would automate the contest robot then a certificate system could be added. I think most would use it if they were saved...
... Is this really true? Following the 1970s precedent (no security then, either), the log would have to be matched by the log of the station with which the...
... I would agree that the ARRL Contest Robot should be modified to accept "signed" Cabrillo files and automatically copy them to the LotW server. I would...
Gil, W0MN http://webpages.charter.net/gbaron N 44.082056 W 92.513024 1050' Hierro Candente, Batir de repente ... I agree with you completely. The only problem...
It is a matter of degree. With the paper logs of the 70's it would take a very determined individual to falsify one or more contra station submissions. With...
... I agree with you, of course, but 3/4 of the individuals participating in a major contest are not mounting major efforts, and it would add very considerably...
... Wait until the last day and upload a "log" with the DX station's call. It will overwrite the older logs ... if there is no human checking the QSOs will...
... Yes, but I submit that it would be very easy to catch someone who did this more than once or twice at most. He could either fabricate logs from real ...
