Hi all.
Pretty slow here.

I was wondering, what is the status of CQ accepting eQSL confirmation for the USA-CA award?

I see the page for it on the awards section and it tells me "Select an award on this page, and a screen will be displayed, showing the eQSLs that our system believes qualify for that award."

Does this work? Do I need a paid account? Are people earning actual USA-CA awards through this?

If people are actually using this to get their USA-CA, I have no problem paying for a subscription. If this is indeed the case, perhaps the page could be changed to specifically indicate as such.

Hi Ken,

If you go further in the CQ awards interface, you will see :

(Must be AG/Bronze+/non-SWL) Once you're BRONZE or above, it displays "my credits" instead

Does CQ accept eQSL credits ? yes, and since a long time.
Does it work ? Sure ! I got my own award (585) this way.

Hello Guy,

Yes, I see that on the page. I guess in my mind it wasn't clear.

I am happy to hear it works fine for USA-CA. I will sign-up and start making more QSOs.

73 and thanks!
-Ken

eQSL will never be able to support county hunting or grid hunting with their current software configuration.

Years ago when eQSL was young, I volunteered to structure a database so they could offer rewards for counties, grid squares, mobile, portable operations and remote operations without having to create new accounts for each location. At worse, a user would need only one account per their own call signs. They declined.

I operated mobile from Florida to North Carolina and would have had to create a new linked account each time I entered a different county or grid square or when I arrived or left home.

Because their rewards are restricted to individual states, and because each location requires a new linked, non-reusable account, truckers and other drivers are not welcome users at eQSL.
