County Hunting Mobile Jan 21, 2009 04:54 PM

Some interesting questions/comments for the eQSL folks 1) Will eQSL be able to handle county lines (two counties) and give folks credit for both? 2) Will eQSL be able to parse N4CD and N4CD/m as the same and match them automatically? 3) Will N4CD receive credit for counties he works while out county hunting? Right now, to be sure the stations get the right county confirmed, I would need to set up thousands of accounts - one for each county/county line run. Would I get reciprocal credit toward eAwards? 4) For WAS, you have to be at 'home' and the same QTH. For most other awards (DXCC, WPX, USACA) you can make contacts from any QTH in the 50 states and they all count. Will eQSL system be able to handle this, or do all eQSL awards have to be earned from the same QTH? So many questions...so many counties....so little time.... N4CD Robert Voss

DX Grid Square???? Jan 15, 2009 04:27 PM

I operated in Vietnam in 2001.....from downtown Saigon. There are a couple hundred eQSLs waiting for the 5000 plus QSOs. I can't set up an account for my callsign there since I don't know the grid square, and the program is demanding a grid square. Haven't found the answer to the grid square on line....doesn't seem to be a big issue, but I guess some awards go by grid square these days. So if anyone knows the grid square of downtown Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) let me know and I can get around to getting the account set up, and then maybe taking care of the couple hundred eQSLs sitting there. Otherwise, we'll they'll just sit there another 10 years...... N4CD Robert Voss

If a eQsl member goes mobile, the default information will list his/her home county. It seems you would have to list the county you are mobile in - in the comments section. If EQsl comes up with any award, it will have to be able to digest the comment section and over ride the default setting for , say N4CD, who is listed as being in Collin County, TX, but is usually not in Collin County since I make 20,000 or more mobile contacts a year from other counties. If you don't put your county on your cards, I won't bother to reply. Got 5000 cards to sort through to decide which ones I answer...I only do buro cards about once a year, too..... You can work 3000 counties with fixed stations - one station has worked that many after 30 years of hamming. There are 3077, and some have no permanent or temporary residents...just mobile stations that drive through. N4CD Robert Voss |
