Since I've not logged a contact since December (been doing listening but no QSOs), I hadn't remembered that my LotW certificate expired... doh! Renewed, and the process went through easily.
Mine went through shortly after I made my last post. I submitted a trouble ticket and explained a few other issues. Things happened very quickly after that. Kudos to the tech support folks!
Indeed...the price to pay for security, but a PITA nonetheless. I've only had a smartphone for 2 weeks. Being this dependent on it is not something I'm used to. Oh yes...I'm VERIFIED now.
It's pretty immediate once you're approved. Apparently, many people are running into small glitches in the process. It took 5 days after I submitted my LOTW information to get everything straightened out.
I did mine with pin to my cellphone. My account information says that I'm in the Verified program, and I did this the beginning of the week, so that's had me wondering.
I'm wondering if, once the vast majority have done this process, that maybe they'll flag only those who are NOT verified. Or at least make the "Verified" wording go away and just be a green dot or something It's going to be a sea of green clutter very quickly when viewing a page of threads. Just a thought... Dave W7UUU
