Why would a bona fide operator reject an eqsl swl report which is perfectly valid according to his logbook on hrdlog, if its because he does not wish to return eqsl with swl's why not just send e-mail saying i do not qsl, rather than reject..which suggests there is something wrong with the report. I really dont understand some people using this facility, but maybe thats just me.

Hi,

First, don't expect a high return rate...


Now, if you send a perfectly valid report, I don't understand why it is rejected.......those who don't want to reply to SWL eQSL's can simply ignore them.....state on their qrz page that they don't reply......

Personnally, I reply to a true report, that is a real report for a QSO I had with someone, If I was just CQ'ing, there's nothing in my log => rejected

In the report, I want my QSO partner callsign + a real report : a 599 for JT65/FT modes will be rejected

Hi Guy - F6DKQ

Have never really had feedback from other Hams regarding SWL Reports. So I have left an example regarding what is left on my QSL to other Hams below.

Would be nice if someone could say this is what they want or not as there appears to be no format on what Hams would prefer.

SWL REPORT - RST:45 - QRM: +3db - FRQ:3.7380 - Good cleam audio cutting through QRM - Miniaml fading but a lot of static noise. Could not hear the other station in your QSO but believe it was G4ZJY - 73s Liam

HI,

there is no format requirement, no

The minimum a ham is waiting for :

- who was his qso partner, CALLSIGN.........without a callsign your swl report will be rejected
if I was just CQ'ing, there's nothing in my log, I don't have anything to confirm => rejected

- all the qso details, date, time, band, mode and a TRUE report (in db's for JT/FT modes, not 599, I personally can't stand this => rejected)

Quote: FRQ:3.7380 - Good cleam audio cutting through QRM - Minimal fading but a lot of static noise


It's nice to mention all this, but not mandatory

I do not mean to represent every ham on earth, but it's more than likely what they would tell you

No, it was G4ZDY ! yes, we see everything with admin rights

The subject of the TOPIC was : PERFECTLY VALID SWL REPORT REJECTED


If your swl report has been rejected, don't only think that is perfectly valid, but find out why......

My inbox is EMPTY, any incoming eQSL must be either confirmed (=> archived) or rejected

...waiting for other comments

Hi Guy F6DKQ

Thank you for that fully explained reply yes I have only had one rejected but that was when I first started to send QSL's out, but with minimal information so was most probably rightly rejected.

once again thank you for your answer

Best regards

Liam
