LoTW Problems

Tom,

It looks like the ARRL decided to change the address for downloading LoTW QSL's.

So, the present set up for "LoTW in..." doesn't work.

Are you aware of this? And/or is there a patch to change the download address?

TIA,

They seem to have made further changes, and p1k.arrl.org now redirects to lotw.arrl.org, I just tried to download from within RUMlog and it worked correctly.

Yes, working fine now.

Too bad they handled it the way they did and left a lot of people (I also follow the DXKeeper forum) scrambling.

Anyway, it's fixed and hopefully Tom slept right through it! :)

Hi,

I don't know what happened.
Yesterday local evening the Error message was "Document moved permanently" and the link to "lotw.arrl.org" was shown. The official ARRL documentation was still pointing to "p1k.arrl.org". I wanted to change the program code, but I was wondering to see a comment of mine, that the same addresses were swapped before 5 years ago in the other direction. So I decided to go to bed first.

This morning now, both addresses are working! I will wait and observe it further.

Still working fine this morning.

Looks like the IT wizards at LoTW changed servers without making sure the re-direct worked.

At least it's fixed and all is good!
