Why (some) hams don't use eQSL Aug 17, 2008 05:36 PM
(Total replies: 10)
Hi, I had a couple of discussions with other hams when explaining them that I use eQSL, and their answers were quite interesting, sometimes surprising. I can't provide percentage values due to the statistically low number of comments, but the most frequent were: - I do not have a computer in my shack, I think I don't need one at all. - I do have a computer but I am not using it for logging but for the web and e-mails only. - My preference is contesting and awards, and eQSLs are often not accepted for this. - I have heard that the number of returned eQSLs is much lower than conventional QSLs. - I am using the ARRL LOTW system only and I do not plan to use two systems in parallel. - eQSLs are an unfair competition to the amateur radio leagues with their QSL service. - I am not interested in QSLs at all - I can see from my own log which contacts I had. This makes it pretty clear that there are lots of more or less good reasons why some do not and will not use the eQSL service, and we will never have a return rate of 100 % for eQSLs. I think we will have to live with that. As a consequence, it is much harder to work e.g. an eDX 100 award using eQSLs compared to the conventional DXCC with paper QSLs.
