My first upload to eQSL contains (in error) about 500 contacts made by the Juneau Amateur Radio Club's KL7JRC station in the 2011 CQ WW SSB contest. I need to delete these from my eQSL log. Is there any way to do this all at once, or am I doomed to hit EDIT, click down two lines with the mouse, hit delete, and repeat 500 + times?

I promise I won't do this kinda dumb stuff again ;(

Assuming all those QSOs are within a specific date range, you can do a bulk delete. Go to your outbox and bring up the filters dialogue. You do that by clicking on any of the"Entries" links on the right side of the page, doesn't matter which.

At the bottom of the filters page you will see a link "Delete a Group of Log Entries".

When you click on that link you will be asked to enter a date range for the QSOs you want to delete.

David,

Easy when you know how. That worked perfectly, since AL7L, my callsign, was not on the air at all during the three days of the contest.

I keep the logs for the club's contest activities, and somehow got that one into my AL7L DXKeeper log. I've fixed that, and, thanks to your help, I've deleted all those contacts from my Outbox.

Not sure to whom I should address this suggestion, but the defaults on the "Delete a Group of Log Entries" date-range dialog make it extremely easy to delete one's entire account. Perhaps those should just default to mm/dd/yyyy instead of a date?

Really nice to find eQSL out there. I'm way behind, and this is taking a great load off the post offices of the world, hi hi.

Hi Pat,

Well there is no question it is a dangerous tool which is why it is buried in that filters dialogue screen.

But! There is a safeguard built into it :)

If there are any eQSLs in your outbox that have been confirmed that fall within the date range you specify, you are told that the eQSL has been confirmed and you need to enter your password to confirm that you really want to delete the entry.
