1  eHam Forums / DXing / RE: LOTW furiously processing logs on: January 11, 2013, 02:49:06 PM
I really hope your kidding about them using SSD drives.
My very good buddy is a service tech for Laptops and he tells me that SSD drives are the most useless things ever created.
The problem is that when they fail they just fail!  No clicking, no sector errors, no wierd stuff that lasts a week or so before death.  You just turn off your perfectly working PC and when you turn it back on NOTHING!  He says there is no way to retrieve the Data, it's just gone.



There are different types of SSD drives. The types used in servers are different (and more expensive) than those used in laptops.

That's because at this moment, LoTW is processing logs from 11d 04h 07m 14s ago.

It took me two attempts. I have seen worse.

It's working normally for me.

Inserting LOTW files should be pretty easy, actually.

Yep. As I've monitored the numbers over the last few weeks and have done the math, they are processing at most 2-3 QSOs per second. Even though they're dealing with a fair amount of data to query, this is extremely slow. I'd expect no more than a few milliseconds per transaction. My experience has shown that unless you are very seriously underpowered, hardware upgrades are simply a temporary bandaid on a more serious database/query design problem.

Not to compare LoTW to Google, but I'm always amazed how Google can query about 100 billion web pages (they index or re-index about 20 billion per day) and give me useful results in less time than it takes me to search for a filename in a folder on my own hard drive.

Check my math, but at 3 QSOs per second, it will take 35 days to get to a log submitted today processed. So it is too late to submit a log for DXCC year end processing. It also means that it will not catch up before the RTTY roundup logs hit.

For what its worth, LOTW now has a LIVE logbook queue status page!

Interesting data there. Every two hours they fall 1 hour 40 minutes farther behind.


I never would have guessed there are so many logs in the queue. I assume today's flood is from the 10m contest. But there are two big storm clouds nearby. There is going to be a rush for year end DXCC endorsements for the yearbook. That's a hard deadline to get applications in (unless extended). And on Jan. 5 there is the RTTY roundup.

NH8S Card Arrived Today. I was expecting 3D2C.

I appreciate the LOTW service but wish they would be more frank about the actual situation.  Don't state that the system is running 7 days behind when some accounts such as mine is are 16 days behind - I've had no update in submitted QSO's since November 24.

You may be one of the lost files from before Nov. 28 2103Z. http://www.arrl.org/news/update-to-logbook-of-the-world-bug-fix

Hmmm..... Nothing here yet.  Anyone else get their 3D2C card lately?   I checked the website, and show my card as "sent", but nope, not here yet.

73, Gene AF3Y

Same for me.

I'm close to Paul and I've only heard them on 12m CW at around 1900Z. They were workable but I did not jump into the pileup. I only have dipoles.

I also worked YK1BA in 2010. He was only on for about 10 days.
15  eHam Forums / DXing / RE: LOTW on: November 30, 2012, 11:45:25 AM
I am tempted to upload my entire log, (20K contacts), and see if that flushes things out...

Please do not. That will just make the backlog worse for the rest of us.
