How to get more people to join EQSL??!! Oct 23, 2008 08:10 AM

That’s a good idea and I will try to do the same. I wonder if the guardians of the eQSL system have any input after all we will be banging our heads against a brick wall without direct support. In comparison I was involved in a forum for a NAV system and we had almost instant replies from representatives and on a few occasions from the Chief Executive directly. Almost overnight the product turned into a very well known product that tracks transponders in shipping and aircraft. It was the rapid build up of the community with direct support from its founders. So come on guys give us some backing and guidance or can we approach the HAM Radio magazines and ask them to do an article on the benefits of the eQSL system directly?

I have noticed that on the ‘Members only” section of the RSGB web page there is the following statement. Do you really need to send a card? Before QSLing, please ask yourself if you need to send a card. The Society has a policy of discouraging the sending of QSL cards when they are not wanted. If your special event station or DXpedition practices 100 per cent QSL, this is wasteful of both time and effort. It also costs money for bureaux such as that operated by the RSGB who send cards from place to place, only for them to be destroyed on receipt. Consider systems such as Logbook of the World, which replace cardboard by electronic methods. I was wondering if they have been approached and asked if they would also mention the excellent www.eQSL.cc service in the interest of fairness etc and if they would be prepared to put this suggestion of the use of an electronic QSL on a non-members section for all to read. A further observation made in the interest on promoting www.eQSL.cc is that on the web pages of the main suppliers of amateur radio equipment here in the UK it seems only Martin Lynch www.hamradio.co.uk is a sponsor and advertises the service through the use of the eQSL finder (Well done Martin). I believe it would be wrong to contact these companies or organisations directly without authorisation as of fear of upsetting anyone or “putting one’s foot in it”. However do we have a contact of someone that could do so and maybe be a point of contact in for such matters as well as being a focal point for organising things like an eQSL field days with local clubs, eSQL representation at local HAM rallies etc? Anyway just my two cents but some feedback on the matter would be most appreciated. Bill M6GPW Bill Keen Edited by M6GPW Bill Keen on Oct 22, 2008 at 11:48 AM

Net meet on home page Oct 17, 2008 03:23 PM

What is the possibility of getting a “Net meet” link advertised on to the home page? Also it would be nice if you could see who’s available on the net via online page maybe linked to a cool picture of the earth. This could indicate the location of eQSL users maybe in red and green when ‘On air”. M6GPW Bill Keen

Hi Andy Thanks for the reply. I have had most of my QSO in a digital mode using Ham Radio Delux. The logbook system attached to this excellent program supports eQSL but has to be selected under a system setting. I have noticed very few eQSL members state on their finals that eQSL is expectable. Anyway I will put my thinking hat on and see if I can drum up some ideas. Bill M6GPW Bill Keen
