Hello!
My name is Roman, and my hobby is SWL (alas, on my house it is impossible to install transmitting antennas even for VHF - I can only listen).

I have more than 700 confirmations of my reports from the AG members of the eQSL , and I have 87 confirmed countries from around the world on eQSL.

I also have a Awards "eDX eQSL" (with my result = 80 credits)
But almost all other eQSL Awards are not accessible to SWL user ...

For example, I have 395 confirmed prefixes and the eQSL system sees and counts them - but the ePFX300 Awards is unavailable to SWL.
Other Awards also do not have in the rules of mentioning about SWL .....

It's a little offensive - we are Short Wave Listeners - too living people - but the eQSL Awards are not accessible to SWL user

Is it possible to take into account the existence of SWL in the world for the eQSL Awards ?

Thank you for your responses

P.S. Many thanks to those who confirm the SWL reports - you give us hope and a desire to develop.
You just make this whole world a little better (it's nice to read your warm comments in the you confirmed reports ).

73!
Roman.

P.P.S :
Sorry that I duplicated this post from the SWL section, there simply is a note:
"Use this forum to discuss issues surrounding the use of eQSL.cc by SWLers. Do not ask technical support questions here, as this forum is not monitored by support personnel. Ask those questions in the Support forums."

Hi Roman!

I fully agree with you. Why SWLs can apply only to eDX100 award? There is no good justifications, apart from a kind of sense of superiority of Hams towards SWLs, children of a Lesser God. An award manager replied to me: "We can't obviously mix Hams and SWL's. Working Peter I Island and hearing it are 2 quite different things". Frankly, I don't see major differences between an electromagnetic wave travelling from my TX to your RX or from your TX to my RX. And I believe that we both share the same hobby and passion.
So why don't they extend all existing eAwards to SWLs too?

73 Roberto
