I have uploaded some QSO's and a couple of people rejected theirs because I did not have a signal report on them. (My first time doing this). Anyway, I was not sure how to fix this, so I added signal reports to all my QSO's in my log and uploaded them again. Well, then I had a bunch of double entries. Going from bad to worse to flat ugly, I chose to try and delete them and upload the good log again. Now, the person that originally rejected the QSO tried to confirm the (new) QSO and the system would not let them. Most of these QSO's in my outbox are shaded (archived by the recipient). They appear to be just stuck out QSO's now that are no good and I have no QSL's. Yeah, I know, I've got a real bad mess! I am also frustrated, not to speak about the frustration that I've cause the recipients. Learning all this on my own has been extremely painful.

Can any of this be fixed? I am frustrated, down, and generally not happy. I am a new ham and feel really really stupid.

Thanks for your help or at least, for listening.

Hi Wendel,

In general the best way to get help with this type of problem is to use the support email link instead of using the forum.

Probably what you should have done is just go in and modify the eQSLs and add the signal report to the ones that needed it, I see you only have 17 in your outbox.

The duplicate entries I see are because the times are different, if they are off by a minute or more the system will think it is a different QSO. You can go in and manually delete the ones that are incorrect.

You do have eQSLs, 12 in fact, you will see them in your archive.

Can you give us an example of an eQSL that couldn't be confirmed? And again, best to use the support email system for this instead of the public forum.

Dave, VA3KAB

Hi Wendel,

I have just gone to QRZ.com.. and in the details it says you do not QSL by snail mail and EQSL...
I suggest you go to QRZ.com and write a bit about your self.. a short bio.. then click on the details and amend the details.. and if you hear me on the bands I will certainly work you and exchange QSL cards with you..
