Lewis and Clark Trail on the Air

News
It was an amazing start to this years activation. It was so good it crashed the server. We sincerely apologize for that. At 7:41pm Pacific time we have upgraded our server's CPU and memory. All should be good. We will be keeping a close eye on it. 

Of course this is only the first weekend and the event is far from over. It is pretty normal for activity to drop a little during the week. I know I will be on the air, calling CQ after I get off of work. 

I often get emails asking how long it takes for a contact to be made and for it to show as credit on the progress page. This all depends on when the activator has uploaded their log. Some do it right after their shift and others are working POTA style from the Lewis and Clark Trail. It takes a little while for these folks to get back to civilization and upload their logs. You can check to see if a log has been uploaded by going to "Find an Activator", look for the station and time period and on the far right you will see a green check for an uploaded log, a yellow triangle for a pending log and an hour glass for an activation that is still active. 

I hope to contact you on the air. Tim Kuhlman KD7RUS - LCTOTA Co-Chair
