Hi, has anyone experience with the application for the ePfx 300 award? I already have 300+ prefixes, nut in "my awars" the "application" button is still grey, so I can not request the award?

Think all the confirmations have to be AG in order to get awards.

The ePFX300 eAward is available to Amateur Radio operators only, and is not available to SWLers.

Yes, it is true, for all of the eAWards, confirmations from users that have received the Athenticated Guranteed status earn credit toward the awards.

Hi Hank and Vince,

Thank you for your reply. Although I'm AG it does not matter in this case. A pity this award is not available for SWL's

Hi ,

right , Eelco , and I see no reason for that .
eQSL should give SWLs the same possibilities to enjoy the hobby , no reason to build up walls .

Hi all .
question for the admin.
Why not have an ePFX300 for swl.
According to most of the posts that I have read and as an SWL It is much more difficult to receive a QSL return for swl than Ham. May be It is something that could be put up for consideration.
I would have no difficulty with a separate SWL ePFX300 award sitting on my wall hi hi.
Best regards de EI1571

Ten months elapsed, nothing happened, no answer at all.

Just to say that I think ALL eqsl awards should be available to swl members. If not then perhaps someone at eqsl can give a informative answer as to why not. After all we are all in the same hobby, are we not ???

All the work done on this site, including award approvals, is done by volunteers on a part time basis. We don't have enough volunteers available to add more awards at the moment, simple as that.

David I appreciate the activities done on a volunteer base by people confirming awards and I am thankful for this, but we all need goals to reach, the eDX is not enough.

Many SWLs reached a quite good amount of activities done (check I7389TN or MA3065SWL) many are bronze or silver or gold. We are not asking to add new eAwards but to open some more of them to SWLs, all the "mixed" could be opened.
How many SWLs are active on eQSL? if you get 5% more HAM subscribers per year I believe these will be much more than all the SWLs together, once a HAM has confirmed with an eQSL to an SWL, the credit is given also in the eAward standings and the system, seems to me, is already confirming the results.

If you need a hand for SWLs eAward check (only for SWLs) I offer you my help and I am sure many SWLs would give a help if they only could.
