I have some eqsl from a person with a ham call sign yet they are spotting me as a swl. If I approve the qsl they will be getting credit for a contact and not SWL. Should I just reject these or what.

If it is indeed a ham (you can tell by displaying the card, SWL accounts say "Confirming SWL reception" instead of "This confirms our 2-Way QSO") then please reject the card.
Also send me a Private message and tell me what the callsign is please, he shouldn't be sending eQSLs for spots. 73, Dave - VA3KAB |

Dave,
A quick question.... Suppose as a ham, I was just listening to my rig and heard a good QSO. Could I then send each of them an SWL QSL without getting an eAward confirmation? Or would I get the confirmation when and if they approved the eQSL? I suppose that with our system, it can't be done. Would I have to set up a separate SWL account? 73 Andy - n1ork N1ORK Orest 'Andy' Zajac |

You need to setup an SWL account to do that, Andy, it is the only way for a ham to send an SWL report.
Because you have a HAM account, when you send each of them an eQSL, they get credit for a QSO with you which obviously didn't happen. And if they then confirm those eQSLs you sent, you will then get credit for QSOs with them. Interestingly, I received an SWL report from a ham this morning, first time that has ever happened! I rejected it, told him he should not be sending SWL reports from a HAM account. 73, Dave - VA3KAB |

Thanks for the insight David. I'll have to be more careful accepting SWL reports and make sure they don't come from a ham account. I don't plan on adding an SWL account any time soon.
