It's some kind of bug that is taking longer to fix than you would think is necessary. I made a change to my rules to test some theories and now have over 200 grids showing as new. Oddly enough, when totaled with awarded it still does not reflect the correct amount. Any requests on the status seem to go unanswered by the ARRL.

I did not submit an endorsement so why my total went up by 3 is not known. I would have to bump my log to LOTW to determine which grids were added to my total.

Callsigns missing: AI6GS (230) K7TAB (100)
Callsigns with totals that went DOWN:
KO4MA 1564 -> 1562 AC0RA 1143 -> 1142 K8TL 974 -> 973 AA5PK 876 -> 875 W6ZQ 561 -> 560 K4XP 102 -> 101
Callsigns with totals that only went UP by a few:
K6FW 603 -> 606 KK4FEM 476 -> 480 KL7CN/W6 249 -> 250 KX9X 158 -> 159 AK4WQ(EN34) 106 -> 107 VA3NNA 100 -> 102 (The above callsigns could be legitimate endorsements.)
Here are the apparent endorsements and new VUCC Satellite Awards issued by the ARRL for the period August 1, 2017 through September 8, 2017. Congratulations to all those who made the list this month!

This list was developed by comparing the ARRL .pdf listings for August 1st and September 8th, 2017. It's a visual comparison so omissions are possible. Apologies if your call was not mentioned. Thanks to all those who are roving to grids that are rarely on the birds. They are doing most of the work!
