According to this site https://tlsversions.com/,  TLS 1.2 IS the current version.  https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc8446/ indicates that TLS 1.3 is still a PROPOSED standard.  Thus, at least for this item, ARRL is at the most current version of TLS (Transport Layer Security).

Looks to me like they're running a very old version of TLS and need to support more current versions.

Protocols
TLS 1.3    No
TLS 1.2    Yes   <--
TLS 1.1    No
TLS 1.0    No
SSL 3    No
SSL 2    No

Thanks Scott,  I guess that will keep everyone from clicking on the link ;-)

In studying the output a little bit more since my note - it appears that for users of Windows you need Internet Explorer 11 or greater or the newer Microsoft Edge browser. If you are running Windows XP with IE 6, Vista with IE 7 or Windows 7 with IE 8-10 it will not work.

For those having issues, please check what version of IE is installed by clicking Help -> About. If the version is 10 or less, your computer is out of date and will not work with LoTW and many other sites that are trying to improve their security posture.
