Support - English speaking » Problem with CQ WAZ award application Nov 10, 2011 06:55 PM (Total replies: 10)

Thanks, I do not want to bet on anything, I am not in the casino. The eQSL.cc does not have a support contact: I tried to use "contact us" form on the site, and AFTER I FILLED IN ALL THE FIELDS, DESCRIBED MY PROBLEM and pressed "Submit", it simply told me to GO TO THESE FORUMS, where some members may be able to help me. Now I hear no one from eQSL.cc actually reads these forums, and I have to go to some Yahoo group to reach them. Amazing...

Someone asked me how much I would pay LoTW to get an award. Well, at least for my money they keep their promises, accept applications and send awards. Their support also answers e-mails.

It's not like I am trying to humiliate eQSL.cc and sing an ode to LoTW. Actually I do not care which system to use as far as it helps me to achieve my goals. I also understand now, that eQSL.cc is more interested in promoting their own awards, not third-party ones, and all this agreement with CQ Magazine is done simply to show the world, that at least one major award player accepts eQSLs, and nobody actually cared about proper implementation of application process.

Well, it is good we always have the alternative: green stamps, IRCs and US Postal Service. This is my best bet, not chasing the ghosts of eQSL admins in Internet.

Sorry Thanks to everybody anyway. I understand the people here are trying to help, but they are not admins, and most of them have different goals.

73!

Andy,

First of all, I do not understand what LoTW has to do with CQ WAZ award. LoTW can be used only for ARRL awards, that's it.

Second, I paid $5 for nothing. I am interested in CQ WAZ CW. Not eZ40, not CQ WAZ Mixed, only in CQ WAZ CW. And I cannot use eQSLs for it, simply because the system does not allow me to select CW confirmations. eQSL system gives you 3 eQSLs to choose from for each zone, and the system decides which eQSLs are these on itself. And even if I have CW eQSL from some zone, it does not necessary appears in the list of eQSLs, which the system allows me to use for CQ WAZ award. It simply shows me 3 eQSLs in some other modes, and no CW confirmation.

Same with WAZ awards for any other mode, or for WAZ band awards, or for 5-Band WAZ. eQSLs are useless for all these awards, they only can be used for a single WAZ award: CQ WAZ Mixed. However you cannot find this information anywhere, until you pay money to eQSL.cc, and try to apply using their system.

Is this fair? In my opinion, not at all. This information should be disclosed, so people know, they can use eQSL only for CQ WAZ Mixed award.

Thank you and 73!

I donated $5 today, because I wanted to apply for CQ WAZ CW. Same problem, I cannot select CW QSOs for certain zones, although I have the confirmations. Now I have to obtain paper QSLs for those zones.

This is simply not honest. eQSL.cc claims their eQSLs are accepted for CQ Magazine awards, but they never say you cannot use these eQSLs for all awards you want until you give them some money. Then you figure it out, but... too late!

I am very disappointed and frustrated by such an attitude. No more money from me, that's for sure.
