QSL cards

Believe it or not - even after thousands and thousands of QSOs I still love to

collect QSL cards. And I will confirm all first contacts with a traditional paper

QSL.

But ... I also love to work DX and collect awards and I definitely see the advantage of the modern form of QSLing i.e. LOTW, eQSL and other systems. This way you don’t have to sort through thousands of QSLs to find the ones you need for an award, send them by mail to have them checked and risk maybe losing them forever when the envelope never shows up again. All it takes is just a click of a button. No risk and still a lot of fun ... And that is why ...

…  

I  

do  

not  

only  

send  

out  

paper  

QSLs  

but  

in  

addition  

to

that  

upload  

all  

my  

contacts  

to  

LOTW  

and  

eQSL.  

If  

you

don’t  

like  

this  

new  

form  

of  

QSL  

confirmation  

just  

ignore  

it.

If  

you’re  

not  

registered  

with  

eQSL  

no  

eQSL  

card  

will  

ever

harass you.

By the way - eQSL ...

a request to everybody who uses eQSL:

Dear OM and YL, eQSLs are ONLY valid for awards when the identity of the sender is confirmed by the eQSL sysops, meaning AG-status.  All eQSLs from users without AG status are worthless and are nothing more than just a file on your computer harddisk ...
