I'm fairly new to eQSL, although I've been SWLing (mostly PSK) since last year.

I've had a station not only respond to eQSL, but they have then sent me an eQSL in return too. At the moment it's sitting in my archive because I wasn't sure whether/how to respond. (It's the only one with Accept/Reject beside it).

I haven't had a QSO with this station (since I'm SWL), and presumably if I accepted it would also be a duplicate. Rejecting it seems rude, but presumably that's the only way to remove it from my archive?

Stephen:

If you send an SWL report to someone and they responded to that report, there is no issue. You are just getting a confirmation about your SWL report.

If you receive an eQSL in your Inbox that you did not initiate, then of course, reject the eQSL in question. and, give a reason in the reject e-mail.

It was the latter (the other station initiating the QSL). I've rejected it as a duplicate.

Thanks for your advice.
