SWLs » WSPR ... what is the general view. Jun 3, 2012 08:54 AM (Total replies: 2)

I have just received an eQSL from a licenced Ham for one of my WSPR transmissions which he picked up ..

I checked that I had in fact transmitted at that time, and out of courtesy, returned an eQSL even though I had not received him at that time.

Really, it was a sort of SWL communication, except that his prefix and call sign is listed in my contacts for country and prefix awards.

What is the current thinking on WSPR eQSLs like this ..

They are not, strictly speaking, 'QSOs' even if both sides signals are received ..

Perhaps WSPR mode contacts should not be eligible for awards, and be treated as SWL reports.
