Greetings;
I am new to eqsl and DXing the bands for that matter. I am interested in DXing and qsl card collecting etc.. Couple of questions if I may. Is there a net for eQSL members and if so when and where? Also, I am having trouble getting DX keeper to download and load on my system, is there another program that maybe I should consider or help in getting it to install. Also would like to know if there is a tutorial of some sort to read on best practices of DXing and using eQSL? Like to get started on the right foot. Be interested in reading your comments and advise. Thank You 73 Art - N7MNK N7MNK Arthur Putnam |

Art, we used to have a net for a while, but after a time only the same 5 or 6 hams would show up. Do a search in this forum for eQSL Net and see what you get. Was it the bad band conditions, not enough participation or net control stations? I'm not sure. Maybe someday when conditions are better and people can speak of eQSL in the same breath with LOTW, then a net could be possible.

Ok Andy, Thanks for letting me know about the NET being down for the time being. I am so new here and also with DXing you lost me with LOTW, I am not sure what that is at all. Maybe you could feel me in on that one. Thanks again.

Art,
LOTW (Logbook of The World)is run by the ARRL. It is a QSO verification system like eQSL, but it doesn't produce electronic QSLs like eQSL does. Many logging programs will download QSO's to LOTW as well as eQSL. I find that eQSL is easier to use than LOTW. But once each one is set up correctly, both are faily easy to use. Information can be found on the ARRL.org web site. Hope this helps and maybe someday the eQSL net will resurrect itself. 73 Andy - n1ork N1ORK Orest 'Andy' Zajac |

Ok Tnx Andy, I found it on ARRL, Looking at installing DXKeeper program that allows I guess for post QSLs to both LOTW and eQSL. Hope I get it figured out to work both programs.
I am a bit surprised how many hams do not know about eQSL program. I will keep at it thou. I like the idea of not running to the post office all the time. Tnx again for the tip and advise. Art -N7MNK N7MNK Arthur Putnam |
