How do I use this website, or should I? May 11, 2018 08:39 PM

Of course, thank you for that detailed reply. It's funny you should mention copies of your license and such... One overseas ham was excited that I didn't upload to QRZ. "You HAVE to upload to QRZ or I won't get my award!". Far be it for me to prevent this soul from getting his award, so rather than debate uploading to anywhere else, I found HRD would do it in the background. My point is, it seems everyone is requiring some sort of verification of who you really are, just as eQSL required the photo of my license. I don't know what challenges a ham faces in a foreign country concerning uploading logs, it's more difficult, but I agree with verification. It's just the times we live in I guess. I'll make sure the first two are unchecked as you suggested. I find it odd that you don't use the HRD logbook. It works so nice for me, and HRD has all the Awards options, countries you've worked, need to work, etc, etc. You don't have to use that stuff, but it's there if you do. That's the reason I bought HRD in the first place. I love the integration and synchronization of the Kenwood, my SteppIR antenna, the Digital interface, and the logbook all in one. I click on a frequency, and everything switches over, including the antenna. I make one phone call if I have any trouble, their Tech Support has been absolutely outstanding. To each his own.. The only problem I've had recently is that SuperSweeper doesn't work with MFSK-modes, only the regular window does. That's a different thread I guess. So once again, thank you for taking the time.

Hi Guy, I kept the eQSL notices going, because it said if I uncheck that, I won't be an eQSL member anymore, which doesn't sound right based on my intentions to help other guys. The next box, starting with "Reject..." can be taken two ways. Can you clear this up for me please? Thx, Robert AC2MM Robert Krueger

Hello Guy, Thanks for the reply and the link. I have no interest in Awards, or Confirmations, but thanks to the efficiency of HRD, I now upload all my QSO's to LOTW, eQSL and QRZ for those that are. It appears that confirmations only apply to whatever database the ham has subscribed to. To me, it makes more sense to upload all QSO's to LOTW by default, but that's just my opinion. Fortunately, HRD does this in the background automatically. My Elmer told me that with the changes that ARRL has recently made, hams need only post to LOTW, which does make sense, a common ground for all QSO's for the ham community worldwide instead of uploading to three. I'm sure there are hams who do not subscribe to ARRL, but I don't believe that affects worldwide users in their ability to use LOTW, but I'm not positive. To me, using HRD is a big step from Post-Em notes and my ARRL Logbook. It makes all this automagic and seamlessly transparent. BTW, how do I turn off these Ecards I'm receiving in my email inbox? I'm not anti-social or anything, but I do this for other guys who need the confirmations. I receive too many emails as it is. I'll read the link you sent, maybe there's something in there to peak my interest. Thanks again, Robert AC2MM Robert Krueger

I upload all my QSL's to this website, and once in awhile, I'll receive a QSO card (electronic) from someone, but I haven't got a clue as to how to use this site or get started with the basics, or am I supposed to answer the card somehow? I realize it's some kind of electronic QSO card sending service, but other than that, isn't there any type of PDF file on how to get started ? Is it primarily a validation service? I don't send any cards, mostly because I don't know how. The other reason is that personally, I would rather receive a printed one, not electronic from some far off land. And then there's QRZ, which has a similar service. I don't like cluttering peoples Inbox, so how do you know someone wants this and who's service do you subscribe to? Someone said to look at the FAQ's. That was no help at all. There was no question like mine there. You have enough people that appear to use this site, so isn't there some justification for a "Getting Started" document that would explain it's purpose, and a few paragraphs with screenshots that shows how to set this up?
