      I did close to a year ago and they said they knew about the problem, but
were busy with VUCC and web re-design.  It is probably a good time to remind
them :-)

Has anybody contacted ARRL HQ to let them know SO-67 is out of the loop? 
I'm certain they can investigate and correct this.  If not, then a suitable 
explanation would be required.

Patrick,
If your approach is wrong that makes two of us :-)  Last I checked no

SO-67 -- I have no idea why!

Subject: [amsat-bb] restating LOTW question
Hi!
Thanks to those who have responded to my post when I made my
first uploads to LOTW.  I had asked about what "mode" I should
use when uploading AO-16 QSOs, since that is a cross-mode
satellite (that's how I worked it - FM up, SSB down).  I have
heard about what to set the BAND field, and N5JB's document
makes it pretty clear that you use the band you transmit on
for that field.  I am not uploading fields beyond the 7
necessary to make a valid LOTW QSO record, so other fields
like FREQ and FREQ_RX don't matter.
My guess is that, if I follow the way the BAND field is
handled for satellite QSOs in LOTW, I would use the mode I
transmitted with for the MODE field.  In the case of AO-16,
that would be FM.  N5JB's document mentions an additional
field BAND_RX that some may use.  I have not seen any mention
of a "MODE_RX" field, but I will go with "MODE" as the mode
from my transmitter unless I get some authoritative information
to the contrary.
I will proceed to uploading CJ7EWK QSOs from November 2008,
and try to get all of my July 2010 VA7EWK QSOs - including
those at the Canada/USA border - done tonight. Then the huge
task of the WD9EWK QSOs.
By the way, is SO-67 still a no-go in LOTW?
73!
