Sending eQSLs	How do I send an eQSL? Or, How do I confirm a QSO via eQSL's service?	Go first to www.eQSL.cc and click the How Do eQSL's Work? link. Once there, you will be shown a tutorial graphic presentation that describes all of the important eQSL operations, including the simulation of exchanging traditional QSL cards. Note that, eQSL.cc uses a single database that is shared by all member-users. Also, an eQSL card is not, technically speaking, sent to your QSO partner via eQSL.cc. The first and only active step that you may need to take to complete the eQSL confirmation process is to input, i.e., convey, your claimed QSO record data to our database. This required action may be accomplished by one of the following three possible methods: 1) Use the manual log entry screen to type/enter the required details of you claimed QSO into the provided dialog form. 2) Upload an ADIF file that is produced by your logging program. 3) Use a A logging program that enables real-time ADIF data uploads to eQSL.cc. (Ed Note: This is by far the easiest and fastest way to send QSO record data to eQSL.cc and do your part to confirm 100% of your QSOs.) Once your claimed QSO record data has been inputted to our database, it is processed by several of our criteria and confirmation programs. The relevant QSO data is extracted and stored in our database, and immediately becomes available for your viewing at your Outbox screen page. Remember: Garbage In Means Garbage Out! At this point, eQSL.cc has simulated delivery of a traditional QSL card to the Post Office. You have done your part to confirm the two–way radio communication between your Ham station and another Ham station. Another course of action is for you to manually determine that a QSO data record as listed on your Inbox screen page does indeed represent a valid two-way communication between your station and another station, i.e., your QSO partner. In that case, you need to click the confirm () button shown in the Action column in your Inbox (or Archive) screen page. So, now what happens: Well, the relevant data derived from that same claimed QSO immediately becomes available for viewing by your QSO partner at his/her Inbox screen page. If confirm and reject ( and ) buttons do not appear in the Action column at the Inbox screen page, it means that a “match” or confirmation between two QSO data database records, one derived from your data input and the other derived from the QSO partner’s input, has been determined and the claimed QSO record qualifies as a confirmed QSO. The simulation of a two-way exchange of traditional QSL cards is now complete.
