I started a new thread on this, since I am fed up with having to deal with such issues.

I have a log book now with about 200 mismatches from eQSL requests. Some are obvious busted call signs; some are SWL repoerts (dealt with elsewhere); the rest seem to be ops that either use club calls in contests, or have upgraded their calls!

real examples
- M3xxx upgrades to M0xxx (same suffix, more tham 1 QSO, and I checked QRZ.COM as well!)
- 4Z station, well known, often uses different calls in a contest; and expects me to generate a confirmation for his well known call
- Many Russian station do the same thing

The other issue to me is that Club call scenarios could often not be single op - so how do I know who is actually operating !

It is very time consuming to gave to go through the process of checking logs, and showing due diligence on such issues.

To me it is simple - you wouldnt apply for a real QSL card with a different call, so why do folk expect me to confirm eQSLs like this ? !

Whenever I reject such confirmations, folks seem surprised that I do this !

SHoudl there be some more explicit guidelines in uploading logs against your home calls; can accounts be linked together for those folk who need it (their contest call & their home call, for instance?)
