The ARRL's Logbook of the World (LoTW) and Learning Centers websites have been down for days, leaving amateur radio enthusiasts worldwide in a state of frustration and confusion. Join us as we dive into the details of this outage, exploring what is known and what may be happening behind the scenes.
Logbook of The World® (LoTW) serves as a platform for submitting electronic logs and confirming amateur radio contacts (QSOs). Additionally, the ARRL Learning Centers offer online courses, providing instruction and training on various aspects of amateur radio, electronics, and technology.
However, this outage is just the latest in a series of blunders for the ARRL, the largest group of hams in the world. Despite its vast membership base, which represents roughly 15% of licensed hams, the organization has been criticized for its bloated bureaucracy, lack of responsiveness, and resistance to change.
The ARRL's outdated practices and failure to adapt to the digital age have led to its declining relevance. From discouraging new groups and clubs to its reliance on printed magazines for revenue, the ARRL's survival tactics are called into question.
Join us as we uncover the truth behind the ARRL's struggles and explore the implications for the future of amateur radio. Don't miss out on this eye-opening news update!
