I've suggested this to the software authors at eQSL but would like to see if there is much interest or other ideas around this.

Google has an alternative login homepage - called iGoogle suitably on igoogle.com and is a page made up of modules which can be changed, added or removed and the general look of the page can be changed to suit yourself.

You would need a Google login to use this (i think) but I've had the idea of having an eQSL module to drop in - there isn't many ham radio modules but Im using a QSL distance checker and satellite modules.

Have a look at a screen-shot of my setup.

I don't know if a standard XML or RSS type feed could be produced that could be incorporated in a variety of these kind of interfaces - I'm hoping to have one for the Intranet I work on.

Nice stuff Dave,
I just tried it myself and it's kind of cool. Still have to find more ham related gadgets. I wonder if the Vista like ones would work? Do you know if LOTW has a module?
Thanks for the info!

Google do provide details to create your own modules, but I guess that means a feed or somehow to pull back the new or list of e-qsls you might want in your own module. I'm not really much of a LOTW user - I signed up and upload and that's all really.

I don't think there are many ham modules.

Am working a few rtty stations on 20 this aft. The OK rttydx contest is on and worked XE1KK and 4Z5MA, seems quite open at the mo.
