I recently worked NH7O who is an eQSL AG member... but am not getting credit for this QSO. The contact shows up in my OutBox as having been displayed and archived by NH7O, but when I check in my archive, it does not show up. This would be a new confirmed entity for me, so I would like to receive credit for the QSO. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced problems like this, and if you were able to correct it.

Brian,
If NH7O (Alastair Couper) did not confirm your QSO you'll never see a confirming eQSL, no matter what you may have in your OutBox. Right now he has 11 eQSLs in his inbox and none of them are yours. He may have archived it without confirming it. I suggest sending him an email via eQSL and ask him to verify his log and if verified to confirm your QSO.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the input Andy. I guess I just misunderstood how the system works. I didnt realize it was necessary to manually confirm QSL's from my inbox, especially after reading this statement from the site "Click on the CONFIRM icon if you want to send an eQSL back with the same information. (But there is no need to do this manually if you regularly upload your entire log in ADIF format.)" I've had dozens of cards go thru my inbox that I never confirmed... just displayed and archived them... so maybe I need to go back and manually confirm these QSO's somehow so the other station will receive credit for the contact. Maybe the site admins should clarify this so that everyone will receive proper credit for their QSO's. Thanks again for your help... 73, Brian

Brian,
If you upload your electronic log in the adif format, you shouldn't have to confirm each QSO manually. As long as the QSOs match, they should confirm automatically and should generate an eQSL for each confirmation. The only ones you need to confirm manually are the QSOs that may not be in your electronic log but maybe in a paper log. You should not confirm any that you can't verify one way or another.

Thanks again for all the info Andy. I guess I'll shoot Al - NH7O an e-mail and see what happened. It's not really that big an issue as I have Hawaii confirmed many times over thru traditional QSL cards as well as thru LoTW... as a matter of fact, the very contact I was referring to here with NH7O has been confirmed thru LoTW. Hawaii is only a new entity for me here on eQSL, so I'm not too concerned about it. Thanks again for your help and the quick response.
