Hi,
I run the eQSL acount for WW1FHC for the Feld Hell Club and was wondering if Hell could be added as a mode for the awards (such as PSK is)

Regards
Gary

It will be added when/if it makes sense to do so.

Problem is there is not much point in adding a mode endorsement for an award if no one will be able to achieve it. We added the PSK, and later the JT65, endorsements when we started seeing many awards applications come in for the mixed awards with PSK or JT65 as the mode. We don't see that many come in with HELL as the mode.

I would love to see Feld Hell become more popular, I've done quite a few HELL QSOs myself, I work it whenever I see it, and actually won one of the sprints a few years ago (I am FH #984).

Question for you, Can you tell me if anyone in your Club has managed to work all States via HELL? I asked that question over on the yahoo group a while back, but it seemed that no one had managed it yet.

Several David, The club station is just 13 off doing it via eQSL at present.
I was also the awards manager for the club (G7USC FH #401) at one point and several certificates had been issued for that particular award.

Gary, I am going to make a post over on your yahoo group to see if there is much interest over there for an eWAS HELL award. I did that once before and didn't get much response from what I recall. I manage the eWAS award here, so might be able to make it happen, provided there is enough interest.
