Not sure if I am missing something obvious here, but after uploading 250+ contacts from a QRZ logbook ADIF file, and researching / confirming some, and archiving all, when I go to the archive, the ENTIRE ARCHIVE only shows 51.

I am assuming that only 51 have been confirmed. The "ENTIRE ARCHIVE" is really only the confirmed contacts. Is this correct?

The other 200+ "not yet confirmed contacts" are sitting someplace else. Not in "The Archive", but somewhere... mysterious. Yes?

Where can I view / how can I view, all of the contacts that I have uploaded regardless whether they have been confirmed, or not.

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

SWLs » Who out there is legit? SWL. QSL Poachers? Sep 28, 2023 04:05 AM (Total replies: 1)

Hi Calvin,

I have been using eQSL for years, but frankly only update my account here a few times a year. Like you I research every request for confirmation. I am a paper logging amateur, so that can take some time. 90% of the time a mismatch is simply one that I have not taken the time to manually input into eQSL or QRZ log (I download the ADIFs and upload to each other). 9% of the time there appears to be an honest mistake usually by ME or sometimes by the requesting staton. Then there is that weird remaining 1% :-)

Also like you I spend some time on mismatches. Usually it is an obvious mistake. SSB instead of CW, or similar and yes I'll take the time to correct it.

I do not think you are rude rejecting "unexplained" mismatches. I've only received a few glaring mismatches that seemed to be QSL poachers. Requests from countries I've never contacted with my modest station. Requests like that. And only a very few over the years.

Keep on, keeping on, I'd say. Your time researching mismatched requests helps, I think, to maintain the quality and integrity of all eQSL confirmations.

73 ES HPE TO CU down the log.
