Thanks for the offer Tim. Used my LOTOW to AG not a problen just did not understand that it was nessary .
Just a thougt you guys might think about adding a note to the page where you attach acounts with that information. Interesting note my match rate is much lower on lotow that on eQSL (20 for over 1000contacts) I think that once the awards program gets going eQSL will become very attractive to the VHF and Sat guys. brock W6GMT BROCK THOMSEN |

In your discussions and final rollout of the eGrid awards, please remember to include the mobiles (or rovers in the vhf/uhf contests). Contacts with the mobiles are real contacts and the stations contacting them need to be able to count those contacts towards their totals. And, on the other side, the mobiles need to be able to upload their grid location to the system, something I don't think is possible right now.
As an active hf mobile and vhf/uhf/microwave rover, I've set up separate accounts so that contacts I make while away from home can be made very obvious that they are not from my home station. Every contact has the grid information in the comments section but for an egrid award to work, it needs to be in the database so that the system can count them up. So far, my N2MH/M account has 1539 contacts posted with 152 replies and my N2MH/R account has 1240 contacts posted with 366 replies. As for possible awards, perhaps in additon to the standard "worked xx grids", a different category catering to the mobile/rover could be set up. Something along the lines of "worked W1ABC in xx grids". This would give the mobile/rove more of an incentive to upload his contacts. People would try to work him whever he went. This would also get away from the copycat awards based on awards that other groups that have been around for years. 73, Mark, N2MH The Lighthouse Rover N2MH/R Mark Herson |

I ended up creating an account for every location I operated from and use the date range to identify which QSO goes with which location. Almost all of my operation is Mobile/Portable, so there are quite a few accounts.
The create a new account dialogue accepts Grid, as well as County and State. The only problem comes in when you change to a different CQ or ITU zone. I'm up to 38 accounts. This will go up greatly once I get really active. The biggest problem with this is finding when a new card has arrived. The search routine doesn't seem to find all of them, so I have to check the Inbox of all the accounts to be sure I haven't missed one. N8CBW Clark B. Wierda |

I would like to see a basic eGrid Award on the same lines as the eDX awards. As an active grid hunter on HF, I think it would be great to have such an award.

Is there an ETA for rollout of the HF eGrid award? I've got 95 grids so naturally I think the eGrid award should be for 100 grids. ;-P

Well, you guys can get a first peek at the new eGrid rules here: http://www.eqsl.cc/qslcard/eGridRules.cfm
Your comments are all good and we read them. We'll continue to work to make it easier for mobiles to use the system. Remember that our software can't really decipher what you might have written in the Comments section of your card, so we have to rely on the Grid information being accurate in your profile. That means a new profile (new account) for each grid square you operate from. Just use the My Accounts page to add each new account you need, set the dates correctly, and we'll work on making it easy to check all the accounts for new cards. Of course, that's just my opinion... I could be wrong! 73, Dave Morris, N5UP |
