I am under the impression that contacts via echolink are counted towards EWAS. I noticed that mine are not shown. What am I doing wrong. I have the eqsls and they show AG?

Thank you

Best bet is to post your question over on the yahoo eqsl group,

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OnLineQSL/

That is the only place I have ever managed to get answers from staff members.

I hope for you that you are correct. I think that an EchoLink contact is no different than a phone call. Even though radios may be used at both ends, the connection between the nodes is internet. Don't get me wrong, I use EchoLink and it serves a purpose, I just don't think it's worthy of an eWAS award.
Good Luck with your goal.

Howard,
Here is rule 18 from the eWAS rules:
18. Unlike the ARRL WAS award, contacts made through repeaters, satellites, and other power relay methods are permitted, and stations contacted may be either land-based or mobile from automobiles, ships and boats, or aircraft, so long as they were within the official boundaries of the State indicated in their profile during the contact. However, because of the unfair advantage Internet-linked QSOs (such as IRLP, EchoLink, or eQSO) have over pure RF QSOs, they cannot be counted for this award.
