Hello,

I am preparing eQSL recognition for an award program in OK.

There is a problem with online QSO verification. Imagine this situation:
Station A sends a QSL to station B, but B honestly rejects it because it is not in his log.

Later on B changes his mind, perhaps it was a difficult DX on a difficult band using a rare mode.

B applies for an e-award issued by someone other than eQSL.cc and uses his rejected QSO in the award application.

Now, the award issuer wil take B's application list and makes a verification request to eQSL.cc for each contact. What happens is that http://www.eQSL.cc/qslcard/VerifyQSO.cfm will actually confirm that B made a contact with A on the indicated date using the indicated mode, although B has previously denied that by rejecting the QSL.

Paradoxically, if A made an attempt to send a false QSL to B and then applied for an e-award using that QSO, verification would be negative.

I am afraid that, given this verification behavior, the value od using eQSL for verification of some organization's own e-awards is quite doubtful.
