Yes that is how it appeared 1 in outbox, 2 in archive. After deleting my entry and confirming the last remaining. That seemed to have placed an entry in my outbox. So it appears correct now and with only 1 entry in both the archive and outbox.

Ok, thanks.

Being new, I just get so excited to see a card come in. So don't confirm, and don't look at the cards until I have uploaded my logs so the matching takes place.

I am taking your statement of =/- 60 minutes as +/- 60, am I correct in doing so. Because it would only make sense.

So, my outbox only contains 1 version of the log entry. The archive has 2. So I can delete my version of the QSO and hope he doesn't delete his - otherwise I will just add it back.

Thanks again. And sorry for the dup post here, the site sometimes has issues and shows an error screen and not certain it saved, I went back a page and resaved.

Thanks Dave. I appreciate your response.

Being new to the hobby (at least in the sense of being active), what is the best approach for logging times within the logs. I use UTC which is pretty standard, but the time on the log entry is it to show when the time the QSO started or ended?

The first eQSL card came in for this one QSO at the start of our QSO and so I confirmed, but had yet to upload my log. Then when I uploaded, the time on my entry was the ending date. So that was one that I didn't confirm. So this kind of leads to, how does the upload process reconcile duplicates - does it only look for identical entries or within a certain time span to consider it a duplicate?

Am I to just leave that entry - and if so how should I handle the time differences even though they were defined to be sometime in the conversation?

Thanks again,

The Archive list screen seems to indicate that you have the ability to reject or confirm those entries. But on my screen the action buttons do not show and are not available. Is this appropriate or am I missing something?

And if confirmed, is that the indication because they were already confirmed. But the item in question was just viewed but not confirmed. And it was a duplicate to the QSO just before it. So I am trying to find out how to reject it or remove it so my counts are accurate.
