In the wake of high-profile crashes and slowdowns of the
ARRL's Logbook of the World (LoTW) online confirmation system, the League's
board of directors has established an ad hoc committee to review current
policies and practices, user issues and, according to the ARRL Letter,
"the economic value of an LoTW award point or credit." The committee
will deliver a preliminary report to the full board at its next meeting in
July.
There is no indication of how or whether the committee's
work may affect plans to introduce LoTW support for CQ's Worked All Zones (WAZ)
award later this year.
