Getting more eQSLs » What do you do with eQSLs? Jun 11, 2007 08:15 AM (Total replies: 31)

Hi all.

For those who are thinking about using a digital picture frame to display their eqsl cards. Check out that the screen supports the same image resolution as eqsl use for the eCards. Some of the cheaper digital frames squash the images to fit.

I use a frame with a usb memory stick with all my eqsl cards saved onto the memory stick. I plug this into my digital picture frame and let it scroll through the collection.

WARNING:- Watching the scrolling cards on the digital picture frame is a bit like watching tropical fish in a tank, time passes by so quickly! Or maybe its my age!

SWLs » QSL card for SWL ? Dec 2, 2006 03:18 PM (Total replies: 23)

This is a vexed question. Some SWL's have an id which is obviously not a licence. G-14020 is my "International Short Wave League" ID for instance, used for many years as a SWL. But what about DE2PLL or DE0RST which are both SWL id's. Some times it can be quite difficult to identify SWL reports with such ID's that come close to a normal call. If I can't find the call of the eqsl in my log, I check to see if it could be a SWL report.

When I get a card from a SWL, I check DX Summit cluster spot history for the time and date. I check to see if a spot was made on the cluster from myself or if anyone placed a spot about me. If so I do not confirm the reception.

Bruce, K0ARY/VP9 said "I could load my eQSL cards and display them in the digital picture frame.[i/]" Seems like a good idea to me, I have plenty of paper qsls on the wall of the shack, so a scrolling digital picture next to the eQsl wall clock in the shack would be neat.

Christmas greetings and a happy new year to everyone.
