General web site suggestions » Waiting QSOs Details Apr 5, 2011 01:02 PM (Total replies: 7)

I don't have any specifics, but I know there was one big dxpedition a few years ago that had the date and time listed online for each QSO and they were told to not do it, and then the info wasn't on the online log anymore.

I'm all for online QSLing. I think it is way overdue to be applied towards awards. I just want it to meet the current and proper QSLing procedures. Otherwise, why can't we all just submit our online logs for these awards? :-)

As quoted from this site by CQ Editor Rich Moseson, W2VU:

"We have been working with Dave Morris and his team for several months to assure that the integrity of our awards programs will be protected and to create mechanisms to make it easy for both award applicants and award managers to use eQSL credits toward our awards. All of our award managers have been involved in this process and support this action."

That is true about all things and not just QSLing, but why do you reject the change?

Why not give a specific reason?

I agree on your point, but then why aren't dxpeds (and others) allowed to show the date and time of the QSO in their online logs?

Isn't that the same thing?

And I do reject them, but it is very time consuming to have well over a hundred to double check to give a specific rejection reason, since quite a few are many hours off.

Plus the agreeing over email would take the dishonesty of two people and not just one. A little more difficult. :-)

Why do you object to the change?

Why do you want to see those QSOs if you never worked them? I don't understand the point of it.

Hello,

I noticed that I can print QSOs.

Is that supposed to happen? I thought I should only be able to print QSLs?

The reason is for busted QSOs. I could easily get credit for a QSL that didn't happen.

Tnx and 73,

Hello,

Why is eQSL showing me all of the details of a QSO that is waiting for me?

I know with online logs from dxpeditions, they just show what band and mode you worked them on. They don't show you all of the details of the QSO.

I have gotten quite a few QSOs in my inbox that are from when I wasn't on the air either. Kind of strange to see them in my inbox, if I don't have a QSO to match with.

This ruins the credibility of a QSL, especially since I can just click a button to create an invalid QSL. If it was a valid QSL, it would have been in my log already. If busted, then all I have to do is go in my log, fix it, and then reload it.

If it just showed a count on the web site, of maybe just a call with a band and mode on what is waiting, that would be a great improvement and fix this problem.

Tnx and 73 de k4Wes
