LOTW;

 

..
Sigh.
QRZ here, has me at working all 50 states, and working 118 countries as well as of this moment, all of them confirmed on this platform. QRZ notified me of these awards and that I was eligible for each one, based my my logs here, without my having to go though any additions hoops.

Meanwhile, I can't get any meaningful data out of LOTW on the subject at all. I can understand that some confirmations I have on QRZ are not on LOTW, since not everyone uses LOTW. (Not everyone takes such logs seriously, I suppose.)

But.... Why are the awards the leauge lists not even calculated for each user, based on their logs alone, and not by "accounts" for each flipping award they decide to offer? Why have I got to traverse the (rather outdated) mainframe jungle just to get a glimpse of my standings, much less an award notification in the mailbox they've had for years??

Yet another reason I am far from impressed with the ARRL.
