I just got started with eQSL. I uploaded my entire log and then moved all confirmed from the inbox to the archive.

I now have 236 entries in the archive, leaving 39 in the inbox that didn't match uploaded entries from my log.

I'd like to download only the entries that remain in the inbox so that I can examine them more closely to see whether some are truly "bogus" or if I made some transcription error when originally entering the contacts in my log.

However, when I try to download the inbox, I'm offered 275 entries, which includes all the entries in the archive.

How can I download only the inbox?

Bert,
I wish the Admins would find a way to do this.
The best way would be to manually verify those 39 QSOs with your log and either make the proper corrections and reupload the log (dupes will be rejected) or after verifying, you can manually input each QSO via the 'Manual Log Entry' link.
Hope this helps.

I take it that there's currently no way to do this.

I started to verify the questionable contacts with my log, but my monitor's not big enough to keep the log and the Web site on screen at the same time

On a related theme...

I operate /P a lot, in a variety of locations - for each location I create a seperate account, allowing me to generate a different eQSL card representing the location

However, this means I have no (easy) mechanism to download the logs (I note the seperate discussion about downloading the cards) other than logging onto each account in turn. But I already have 20+ accounts!

Would it be possible to add a "Download ALL account logs" option?

Andrew,
Wow! You need to stay home more. Hi Hi! I think your idea of a "Download ALL account logs" option is a good one. You might try sending this to the Admins via the 'Help!' or 'Contact us' links as they don't traverse these forums very often.
Good Luck and 73

I'd love to operate from home more, but conditions are not so good with too much QRM/QRN

And anyway, the hills are lovely at this time of year - what could be better than operating outdoors in -5C and snow (hi hi)

But I'll send it in as a suggestion.

I have written a program to just do this. eqsladif will take text copied from the inbox of eQSL and convert it to an ADIF format file which you can then import into your logging program. Maybe not ideal, but it does the job.
Find it at http://www.davesergeant.com/bbcbasic/bbcbasic.htm

Looks like a real nice utility Dave. Haven't tried it yet, but did read the 'readme' file. Doesn't sound too complicated, but one should read it before running the EXE file.

Hi Dave

I have written an Excel plugin that does likewise... but that doesn't get over the fact I have 25+ accounts to check.
