ARRL Announces Major Logbook of The World® System Upgrades

🚨 ARRL Announces Major Logbook of The World® System Upgrades

Logbook of The World® (LoTW®) is one of the ARRL’s most valued member benefits — second only to receiving QST magazine. It’s also a widely used platform by radio amateurs around the globe, providing the primary path for award confirmations such as DXCC, Worked All States, and more.

As part of ARRL’s continued efforts to modernize its digital infrastructure, LoTW is undergoing a major upgrade, including:

• A new operating system

• Upgrades to the relational database powering log and award data

• Full migration to a cloud-based hosting environment

  
  

These improvements are designed to boost performance, scalability, and reliability to better serve the growing demands of LoTW users worldwide.

🔧 Scheduled Downtime

LoTW will be temporarily unavailable from June 27 to July 2, 2025

We’ll bring the system back online as soon as upgrades are complete — possibly sooner.

If you're a regular LoTW user and not yet an ARRL member, consider supporting this vital system with a donation of $20 or more to the ARRL LoTW Fund:

Thank you for your support — and for keeping the spirit of amateur radio alive.

73 and see you on the air!
