Hello Art:

When registering the new account you were also given opportunity to specify the Callsign/QTH date range data. Log onto each account profile and make changes, including your email address information. However, if the email addresses are made different, then one, or the other, will not show up on the list of attached accounts when viewing your My Profile screen.

P.S. Write into support@eqsl.cc for a more detailed/correct reply.

SWLs » ePFX 300 award Oct 3, 2007 01:43 PM (Total replies: 9)


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.

Rick:

I think that this newsgroup: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax would provide an iformed answer to your problem.

My printers are HP4L and HP7350, and they run under XPpro+SP2.

The prviously mentioned website for HP drivers help has been favorable to me in the past.

If you want, go ahead and list the required steps here or at the USENET newsgroup referenced above.

Good luck.

Try using the Accounts Manager to split your profile into two parts. A link appears toward the bottom of your My Profile screen. Pass your mouse pointer over the rectangular area that represents your existing account date range. Choose an appropriate Nickname.

Rick:

I do not have any direct answer for your problem. However, I would start wiith being certain that you have the latest drivers installed for your HP laser printer.

What is the model of your HP printer ?

You might do better asking your question at a USENET newsgroup.

Jim:

The Account Manager, although still experimental, was designed/intended to handle your type of situation. It allows an existing account profile to be "split" into two or more segments organized by QTH nickname and range of operational dates.

There is a link to Accounts Manager toward the bottom of your My Profile screen. Pass your mouse pointer over the rectangular area representing your date range for your existing QTH and split the account.... Pay attention to effective dates. If you have questions, you may ask here or via support@eqsl.cc.

QTH data, such as Grid Locator, ITU/CQ zones, etc., are not permitted to be changed other than by a staff member whenever eQSLs have already been retrieved from the user's account.

To properly request a correction of any QTH data, please write your request via email to support@eqsl.cc.

If there is a required change of QTH, then we request users to create a new, additional account that reflects the changes, via the My (Other) Accounts screen.

TNX.

Support - English speaking » Echolink mode Feb 25, 2007 08:51 AM (Total replies: 1)




Ciao Cosimo!

The eQL.cc requirements for acceptable ADIF logging is described at http://www.eqsl.cc/qslcard/ADIFContentSpecs.cfm

Echolink, CQ100, etc., are not presently acceptable as an ADIF "MODE".

However, from the FAQ:

How do I handle IRLP or echolink cards?

IRLP and echolink are not "pure" amateur radio modes, so they must be given special treatment. You MUST distinguish between a normal 70cm FM QSO and one that was assisted by an Internet connection, otherwise you are cheating the regular 70cm hams when you enter your logs for a contest or an award.

ADIF logs: Get one of the newer logging programs that supports ADIF 2 and the Prop_Mode field. Then make sure you properly flag your IRLP and echolink QSOs as using that propagation mode.
Manual logs: The Manual Log Entry screen now has a dropdown list for special propagation modes and we have made provisions for IRLP, echolink, and Satellites. There are many other propagation modes possible, such as EME, F2, etc. but we are mostly concerned with IRLP and echolink, because they "cheat" by using the Internet for the long haul.
eQSLs for IRLP or echolink QSOs will be marked as such with verbiage such as "Confirming our 2-way IRLP FM QSO..." etc. and both InBox and OutBox log entries will display IRLP or echolink in the Mode column.

Please make sure your logs have been properly set up with the new propagation mode so that you are not found to be in violation of any of the rules of our contests and awards. If you have any questions about how to change your logs, please Contact a Support Volunteer.


So, perhaps what you are seeing is proper per the FAQ instructions given above. It is my understanding that echolink records are not qualified for the eAwards program from eQSL.cc, but I might be wrong !

73 es HV fun.

The system is collecting IOTA data within the users' profile. It is my understanding that an eIsland award is being considered at this time, but it needs more support/requests from users to move it up toward the top of the Things to Do list.

HI Nick:

When viewing your eQSL.cc INBOX screen, the rightmost column ( labeled Actions ) gives you the three options for handling an incoming eQSL card.

There are links available for the X and the checkmark at the top of the screen. If you are certgain that you want to confirm the QSO (after verifying with your paper or local PC logbook records) then simply use the checkmark icon .

Hi Scott:

Normally, all that needs to be done is to change your effective begining and ending dates in the WY3X My Profile screen to 1/10/2006 and 12/30/2006 .

What did you actually do in your attempt to modify WY3X data ?

Dr OM Henry:

BPSK62 is not an acceptable mode. Goto Manual Log Entry screen, and then pull down the MODE menue to see the modes that are acceptable by eQSL.cc.

You may edit your ADIF file in a text editor to show PSK63 for those incorrect QSO records and then reupload to the eQSL.cc system.

Support - English speaking » Deleting an error from my eqsl log book... Dec 26, 2006 04:54 PM (Total replies: 1)



Hi Tom:

One way to do this is to go to the View Log/Outbox screen. At the top, type in the callsign of the QSO partner. A list of all QSOs with that station will appear on your screen. Select the appropriate QSO record by clicking on Edit.

Now a screen appears that shows the details of that QSO record. Either correct the data or delete the QSO record entirely.

Hope that this helps you.

The incorrectly placed IOTA reference has been cleared from your profile. You may test print your eQSL card to verify that IOTA is no longer printed there.

The correction cannot be made by you, but by the technical staff. We appologize for the inconvience, dr OM Eckhard.

General web site suggestions » Responding to eSWL requests... Jun 6, 2006 06:10 AM (Total replies: 2)

I think this is an interesting question Bob,

WA2RSX 73 de OPR: VINCE





Is it possible to subscribe to a forum topic prior to making a posting to that topic?

I read many topics written in the forum areas, as many others do I am sure. Sometimes I come across a topic that is of interest to me and I would like to monitor its progress by receiving notification of additional/new postings.

The only way that I can see to work around this is to post to the topic with an empty text, or statement that I am monitoring this topic with interest, and then subscribe.

BoB:

I cannot answer your question nor can I help you with understanding that error message. However, that 8 MB happens to be the limit imposed by the ISP that I am using here. Inspite of the eQSL.cc error message given, perhaps the timeout is the result of a limit that is imposed by your ISP, whatever that might be

Quote: Hi Vince,

I do save locally all QSL I receive. Try it. They are all below 50K bytes JPG except for some between 50K and 100K, about one over each 10. That's the quality cards you get here.

Hi Sylvain:

I sit corrected and am sorry for my error(s). Thanks.

After tracing my steps, as best that I can recall them, I do see where I made the error. I selected a sample eQSL for downloading and then opened the image with IrfanView. When I queried Information, I apparently misread the lines of information, and then based my previous comment on the Current Memory Size line rather than the Disk Space line. My mistake.

BTW, I randomly selected F2YT's eQSL, which I believe is a Style 3 eQSL graphic, from the WA2RSX Archive eQSLs as the sample. F2YT's eQSL happens to be one of several that are up for voting under the Community area on eQSL.cc. The 96 dpi resolution is adequate for on-screen viewing a prperly scaled 3.5 by 5.5 inch area image while deciding on which nominated eQSL graphic to vote for.

Support - English speaking » Changing eQSL card graphic. Jun 3, 2006 04:00 PM (Total replies: 25)

Quote: My whole issue like I've posted on May 13 is the fact that the information/data is "floating/live". Meaning if I send a QSL now and change/update my design next week because I have a new BEAM or RIG, the guys to who I sent the QSL last year will see the new QSL design, graphics, with the new information NOT that does not apply to them...

When a QSL is sent... it's sent. No way on modifying comitted data... maybe it's my personal background talking now but that's the way information system and transactional system works.... like it should be, and not like the hardware/software permits... this is system design upside down. There should be requirements base on the way we do process QSL... then a system that goes along those lines.

It's like if you sent me an email last year and now you're modifying today the email I received last year, directly in my inbox or worst, my archive! and without knowing it... Stop... wrong direction here... IMHO.

On the volumetrics, a card is what? about 50K avg? so... 20/Meg, 20000/Gig or 20 Millions cards into 1000 Gigabytes... not an issue with the drives of today. Add "Compression" to this... could go to 40+ Millions cards into 1K Gigabytes. Not bad!

Just thinking.... still.

Sylvain:
I agree that once an eQSL is sent it should be non-reviseable. Certainly, if the composite eQSL graphic card is downloaded for local printing, that is to say, retrieved, revisions after the fact are non-effective.
I think, however, a composite graphic eQSL card requires closer to 550 kilobytes.
