Upload LOTW fails it is crashed

I tried to recover LOTW
LOTW is better protected then e-banking..
It is easier to send 10.000$  then to upload the LOTW logbook
I don't know why this is so protected. I am not afraid someone is stealing my qso's
??
I seems a bit of an overkill security made  by a retired CIA official..


Did the trick setting  the system time back. Then TQSLCert shows valid keys
I saved the    p12 type files recovering the p12 files did not help me either
I renewed the PA0O certificate   then a  P5  type file was generated and saved to the hidden Windows user maps but  could trace it back.
I send the pa0o.p5 file to   lotw-logs@arrl.org
 assuming only the call is in the msg header
there was an automatic generated reply saying the request was processed.

Today I received the  pa0o.t6 file in return that supposed to be installed by d-click or by loading it in the TQSLCert.
But the certificates did not recover no keys

I will have to wait for a bugfix from LOTW to continue the LOTW service

pity it worked nice a few years

Now I will post QSO's on HAMLOG

exit  LOTW thanks for the good years




Hard times for DX-ing  in August  ES is over SFI  still >100  but 10m is extreme poor here in WSPR.
After long time I wanted to join a contest for a change. Maybe some fun at 15 -40m.
for the RDA contest but the RDA  ended  08 UTC Sunday morning the SARTGRTTY was left.

Voor het eerst in langere tijd weer eens aan een contest wat meegedaan vandaag.
De RDA was al om 08 UTC zondag voorbij daarvoor was ik te laat
bleef over de SARTGRTTY
28MHz is al lange tijd haast dicht de magere oogst WSPR van de laaste week (unieke decodes)

Maar nu wilde ik het log uploaden naar LOTW

plotseling de TQSL (V1.14.3)  melding " no valid certificate found for PA0O"
wat is dat nu weer?
certificate expired?  dat kan haast niet  vorig jaar? nog renewed
29 July upload was okay  en nu  suddenly over ?
empthy huh?
 wat nu weer...
Also on my other laptop TQSL  the certificate was gone! 








 My p12  keys are saved
 for reload..







reload .P12  did not help












wat nu  ?  voorlopig  geen LOTW uploads possible
It is a PIA  this LOTW
certificate expires without warning
then it is a big windows puzzle
set back system time   save the pa0o.p12 again for what ever reason
it wil  be saved to a hidden  windows location   default you can not find it
the the PC keeps on warning about safety certifcate errors
I am about ready to quit the LOTW  now
and wait for some less cryptic system

Jammer ja van dat LOTW. Ik kan zelf geen back-up maken van mijn certificaat,krijg steeds foutmelding. Dus als mijn laptop crashed is het over. Hecht er weinig waarde aan. eQSL is veel beter en mooier. Maar ja, daar wil de ARRL niet aan natuurlijk. 73, Bas

2011-01-22 DIAMOND 2m 70cm 1m30 Colinear inside

Having relative poor signals on the local 70cm / 2m channels using this X50 Diamond collinear 70/2  1m antenna at a height of 25m. I needed to investigate what could be wrong. Measuring the cable only 3W is left for the antenna of the 10W 435MHz output from a IC451E The cable is 30m type H100 Z50 10mm outside diameter it is semi air-spaced but has an impossible 4mm² solid CU inner conductor not much air left. I preferred the H43 Z75 cable having lower loss and mechanical better ratio in conductor size. My antenna uses SO239 connector UHF type semi air spaced isolator.  3W should be enough for a comfortable noise free FM signal. But only 27km away at PA0A the signal is weak too weak something must be wrong? I made a simple reference dipole of 2x17cm CU wire. With this dipole the signals where totally worse. So the Diamond does work? I got curious to look inside. Maybe moisture penetration degraded the antenna. This  antenna is rainwater close in its normal vertical mounting posit

SPF5189z Low noise preamp 23cm

 14-4-2018 updated Above the low noise  preamp 50 - 4GHz    ebay  6€ Tested  2 small porto antennas 1 Baofeng UV antenna left   2nd best signal on PI2NOS 2 eBay DIAMONDSRH805S  wide band 144/432/1200  it works for its size as expected 3 piece of wire :   best signal in the setup... Unit under test at workbench. It was stable  50mA  at 5V   few days,  but sudden the current went up to 100mA And i could  no longer adjust it with the negative bias Voltage. The - Voltage went to zero and the SPF input port became low Z. This SPF5189z was broken  no oscillations, no input overload just it broke while i was receiving the PI2NOS 430.125 using a small antenna at the workbench. The specs of  SPF5189z  say it has an internal circuit  regulating the bias current. Replaced . again   with an other of the 5 spare SPF i have. The new one again could be adjusted at 50mA  5V  The current raises to 150mA  when removing the  negative gate voltage. Where is that internal bias cir

BIJZEN mast en ontwerp fouten.

In 2013 heb ik een Bijzen aluminium mast 3 x7m  opgehaald  bij iemand die hem niet mocht plaatsen Gemeente Oss  dat zegt misschien al genoeg.. Pas in 2018 heb ik hem geplaatst had ik veel eerder moeten doen. Mooie mast, mijn xyl vond hem zelfs mooi. Hij is licht, de 3 delen wegen  235kg  het vaste deel 102kg dus het te lieren gedeelte weegt   slechts 133kg + ca 50kg rotor + antennes etc.  De elektrische lier is wel erg zwaar 30kg misschien wel maar die zit onder    Antenne  3ele Steppir  19kG  +  G2500DXC rotor: 3.6kg  + rotorbuis 12 kg  +  kabels 10kg  + 5/7 ele 6m beam. ongeveer 50kg Je moet niet te dichtbij  kijken, dan valt op dat het Aluminium lastwerk heel slordig is gedaan, scherpe bramen aan de lassen waar kabels door kunnen worden beschadigd of haken Er is zeer ! weinig ruimte voor de rotor een YAESU G2500DX past net maar dan ook net  met beetje buigen van  kruisverband. Het Rotor platform kan wel een meter hoger dat geeft meer  buislengte boven het zit nu op 3.5 meter van het
