Contesting » Why not an Eqsl contest? Feb 23, 2014 10:54 AM (Total replies: 21)

Ok so why not let it run the same time as any ARRL/CQ contest using the same settings as those do. 1: Then the software is already made and available, even free stuff. 2: Would be able to participate in both. the ARRL/CQ and the eQSL contest's and no one would be the wiser. 3: ONLY downside... if run as stated above would have to be sure to send in ur logs even if for only a check log for ARRL/CQ so people don't get DQ'ed making all those unknown contacts.

Just an idea..

Other suggestions » eQSL to LOTW not that hard.. Feb 23, 2014 09:55 AM (Total replies: 4)

Hello all, first will appologize if this is in the wrong place.

I have started to noticed in the past few years is that it seems more and more hams who are considered DX seem to only be willing to use eQSL, and they even go so far as to say so on their QRZ details page as to weather or not they use LOTW. I have ALOT of DX that I have worked but cannot afford to QSL direct and am not a member of the ARRL either so I can not use the bureau either, so alot of it sits at the LOTW unconfirmed due to the lack of uploads.
I have read how some ppl like to get their wall paper, so do I once in awhile. But if a DX station can take the time to upload to eQSL its not that hard to do it to LOTW also. To those who have uploaded to eQSL and there are thousands, uploading to eQSL and not to LOTW has made me not even send out reply's to people using eQSL as I relay on LOTW. Remember its a simple two way lane here, you want something and so do I. People who only feel like using eQSL and not uploading to LOTW also wont be getting cards from me either. I look at my old logs which are all entered into LOTW to see if you have confirmed the contact yet and if ur not in LOTW then the eQSL card doesn't get answered. Basically I just wasted my time cause your info is not in the LOTW and I never get credit for it at LOTW so why give you eQSL credit?? So if ya want a card on eQSL ya might wanna take the time to get it into the LOTW site also. Beside it might get eQSL somewhere with the ARRL if more people used it also..

OK am done with rant now as its now almost 3 am sat night in middle of cq ww 160 contest so talk to ya later.

Chris
