2024 OLYMPIC GAMES RADIOSPORT JULY 26th - AUG 9TH ON-THE-AIR
Not a new Olympic sport (yet) but Amateur Radio Operators in France will be on the air as TM2024JOP and TM2024JPP for the 2024 Olympic and Para-Olympic Games in Paris.
Look for operations mostly on 40M and up and all modes on the HF Bands. Watch the DX spotting web sites for when stations are on the air.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to snag a unique QSL card for your wall as well as work France on HF Bands.
Break Dancing made it to the Olympics this year - could Radio Contesting be next in 2028?

LOGBOOK OF THE WORLD BACK ON LINE 1600 UTC - JULY 1, 2024
|
|
MEMBER BULLETIN
Updated 07/09/2024 As previously reported, 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 applications 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 service. All DXCC data is secure. This story will be updated with new developments. Updated 07/03/2024 The ARRL Volunteer Examiner Coordinator Program continues to operate during the systems service disruption. ARRL Volunteer Examiners (VEs) should continue to submit exam registrations and material requests. While we are unable to post new or revised exam session dates and details to the website, we can ship out exam materials. Please remember that most exam materials are available on our website (www.arrl.org/resources-for-ves). We are processing Amateur Radio License applications to the FCC. The VEC exam session upload webpage was not affected by the incident. We are currently unable to create International Amateur Radio Permits, License Class Certificates, and Volunteer Examiner (VE) badges, certificates, and stickers. New ARRL VE applications and renewals are unable to be processed at this time. ARRL is continuing to accept reimbursement forms to cover the one-time $35 application fee for new license candidates younger than 18-years of age for tests administered under the auspices of the ARRL VEC. Reimbursement checks may take longer than normal to be processed at this time.
