ARRL SYSTEMS SERVICE DISRUPTION: UPDATE (9 JULY) ---> "As previously report-
ed, ARRL Logbook of The World (LoTW) returned to service on Monday, July 1,
2024. As anticipated, there was a significant rise in use to catch up on
processing logs following the outage. It took 4 days for normal processing
times to return.
The ARRL Radiosport Department has resumed processing applications for most
awards. The systems for Worked All States (WAS), VUCC, and issuing credits
for CQ WAZ and CQ WPX awards have returned to service. These award applica-
tions are being processed on a 'first in/first out' basis.
WAS applications submitted through July 4 and VUCC applications submitted
through July 1 have been processed. CQ awards applications are processed by
CQ and not ARRL.
While we can process these ARRL awards and update records, the ability to
print and deliver certificates, endorsements, and other material has not yet
returned.
The online DXCC application is unavailable at this time and DXCC awards are
not able to be processed. Work continues to return the DXCC systems to ser-
vice. All DXCC data is secure".

YOTA CONTEST 2024 ---> The second session of this year's YOTA Contest, orga-
nized by the IARU R1 Youth Working Group in cooperation with the Hungarian
Amateur Radio Society (MRASZ), will take place on 20 July (1000-2159 UTC) on
the five classic bands CW and SSB. Everyone can work everyone. The complete
rules can be found on https://ham-yota.com/contest.
