From the ARRL:

Amateur Radio-Military Interoperability Exercise Set for October
31-November 1

An Amateur Radio-military interoperability exercise will take place October
31 and November 1. The event will begin at 1200 UTC on October 31 and
continue through 2359 UTC on November 1 on 60 meter channels 1-4 —5.3305
MHz, 5.3465 MHz, 5.357 MHz, and 5.3715 MHz, respectively.

During this exercise, military stations will attempt to make radio contact
with stations in as many of the 3143 US counties as possible. Radio
amateurs providing “county status� information will receive a US Department
of Defense “interoperability QSL card.�

Also from the ARRL:

Logbook of The World to No Longer Accept Contacts Signed by TQSL Versions
Earlier Than 2.0

As of 1400 UTC on January 16, 2017, ARRL Logbook of The World (LoTW) no
longer will accept contacts that have been digitally signed by versions of
TQSL earlier than version 2.0.

Users of earlier versions are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible, as
older TQSL versions contain uncorrected defects and display inaccurate
error messages. The current versions of TQSL for Windows, OS X, and Linux
are available online.

To date, LoTW has confirmed some 135 million contacts for its 90,000 users.
