I'm a HRD user (pre-6.x release, so free). LOTW has changed it's logging url over the past few months several times and some logging programs can't keep up and in the case of HRD (pre-6.x) there doesn't seem to be a fix. So logging to LOTW has to be done manually (and there are perhaps a few other logging programs seeing the same result of uploading and downloading logs stopped working after 10/21/2014). Here's a fix (found on the web).
edit the hosts file in the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc folder (need to do this in admin mode and change from read only as well to do this). Add this to the list of hosts:
12.178.70.18 p1k.arrl.org
Save the file and make it read only. Launch your logging program and you'll have communication back to LOTW.
