Thanks, I appreciate the help clearing that up.

Hmm, when I click on the green button to confirm, a box opens with the text, "Create reciprocal eQSL for FT8 QSO."

Does this still seem consistent with an SWL QSL? I'm not verifying a two-way QSO.

Thanks, that seems very clear.

The top of the displayed card shows the sender's callsign-like identifier, name, address, grid locator, ITU and CQ zones, and information on their receiver.

On the bottom of the card, the first line of the text block reads, "To: K6FOD Confirming SWL reception of FT8 QSO." Then there is date, time, band and UR sigs. After that, there is a line that appears to be a comment from the sender, which includes the callsign of the ham I worked, followed by a greeting from the sender.

So it sounds like it fits your description, and that the account is configured as SWL. I'll go ahead and confirm it with the green button. Thanks for the help.

I just received an email letting me know that I have a QSL on eQSL verifying reception of a contact I had with another ham.

I'm very happy to have the report (pleased to know I was heard 9,800 km away on 15 watts). I want to make sure I take the right steps to verify the report and send my QSL.

I see that in my inbox there is a green button (confirm) and a red button (reject) next to this incoming QSL. My only concern is that the reception report appears to come from what seems to be a ham account, not one set up as SWL. I tried clicking on the call sign to see more about the account, but I just get an error saying "Sorry, but this user does not wish to receive unsolicited email."

So, if I click on the green button, will I have the opportunity to enter text clarifying that the QSL is confirming an SWL reception report, not a two-way QSO?
