<P>ARRL Information Technology Manager Michael Keane, K1MK, is reporting that
while Logbook of The World (<A
href="http://www.arrl.org/logbook-of-the-world">LoTW</A>) system is currently
down, it is expected to be back up by 9 AM EST (1400 UTC) on Friday, November 9.
"While the system is temporarily down, radio amateurs are not able to access
LoTW or upload their logs," Keane explained. "No data has been lost, and
everyone's records are intact. We understand the problem and we are in the
process of restoring service to LoTW. Since both the Logbook of The World
service and the <A
href="http://www.arrl.org/news/online-dxcc-application-to-debut-april-2">Online
DXCC</A> service are connected to the ARRL Awards System, radio amateurs are not
able to access either service until the system is restored. We apologize for any
inconvenience this may cause, and want to assure the amateur community that the
ARRL is working diligently to restore service to these popular programs."<A
