from Dusan/SWL OK2-9329

Dear OM Garry CU2JT
I read your message for SWL about theirs eQSL cards. I agree with you, that SWL eQSL
must have a station in QSO with. I quote you:“ All the SWL reports received on eQSL have,
so far, not stated the callsign of the station I was in QSO with. Sorry... incomplete SWL
reports can not be verified.” But a long time as SWL OK2-9329 I couldn`t give that infos
into a SWL eQSL card. I used the MixW2.07 program for making ADI files with
COMMENT for example: “YOUR QSO WITH K1AR. 73 ES GL” but never it was in eQSL.
I asked eQSL manager and he gived me this advice (It is for other SWLs, too):
It is need the COMMENT in ADI file replace with QSLMSG and all is OK.
An example correct ADI SWL text:

MixW v 2.0
<EOH>
<ADIF_VER:4>1.00
<CALL:9>HA7TM/HI9<QSO_DATE:8>20060121<TIME_ON:6>133300<TIME_OFF:6>221504<FREQ:8>18.10000
<MODE:2>CW<RST_SENT:3>599<NAME:6> Tibor<
QSLMSG:32>UR QSO WITH OK2SWD GL OM TIBOR <QSL_SENT:1>N<QSL_RCVD:1>N<EOR>

I only use eQSL for SWL QSL confirmation.

Never have any problems after that. 73`s

Hi all,

This topic is some years old but I want to share this information with you.

Also as an SWL there is an Easy way to log and send log records to and receive eQSL-cards from eQSL.cc: use DXkeeper (DXlabs).

Log a call, and DXKeeper in combination with DXfinder looks up all the station information, fills in some fields like name, country and adress (if you want to send your QSL-card by mail). Then upload your records to eQSL and later you can retrieve (synchronize) your database (including eQSL-cards!)

Never had any problems!

I use it for about 6 months or so and love that program!

It's not something that occures everyday. Maybe just mail them a letter and stick a qsl card in there with the contact I made with the other station and thank them for thier interest in Ham radio.
