Hi, I'm a new member, I think eQSL works very well but I have a question about QSO timing. What is the time error between the two QSO parties log entry beyond which the system considers there is a discrepancy and flags a mismatch?

Hi,

you get a match between inbox and outbox contents up to a 59 mn difference, the qso is confirmed
Beyond, the system does not flag any discrepancy, but you don't get a match, a confirmation, the records are considered different

73 - F6DKQ

When I see a time disparity, I question my own logging first.

I check my log and if it was a pretty active timeframe, I can tell where the error lies.

I am not "afraid" of asking the Amateur to go into his/her OUTBOX and EDIT the time, if he/she agrees with my assessment.

I think time errors and even date mistakes happen when we are logging contacts made over several days. We might neglect backing up the date on the Manual Entry Form, or miss changing the time from the previous log entry. We need to be attentive when making the eQSL card entries.

If you notice an error when you first check your INBOX, it is easier for the sending ham to go into their OUTBOX and EDIT the entry if you haven't accepted the card before seeing the mistake.
