Now wouldn't that be something? A secure system for verifying QSOs that also generates a custom QSL that many Hams enjoy collecting and many contest administrators will recognize this system for their awards..." I don't see "security" as any kind of issue. If a dishonest award seeker wanted to, he could simply print up QSL cards from imaginary QSOs and submit them to the contest administrators. I see it more as the first part of your statement above. ARRL didn't invent eQSL. And perhaps eQSL is guilty of some of the same kind of "my sandbox" thinking. I think it would go a long way toward bridging the gap if eQSL would accept paper cards (the old fashioned way) as well as LOTW QSOs, toward the awards offered by eQSL. If the "big picture" theory is "I made a QSO", then the proof of that QSO should be able to come from any source, paper, electronic or otherwise. If you want the other guy to accept your method, you should accept the other guy's method. Craig 'Lumpy' Lemke -- zero cost 2m, six element yagi www.n0eq.com/trashbeam.htm N0EQ Craig Lumpy Lemke

Why (some) hams don't use eQSL Sep 14, 2008 12:56 AM
(Total replies: 10)
I think I've discovered an interesting reason why lots of eQSL users aren't returning QSLs or being notified or answering requests for skeds. When the eQSL system sends a message the subject is typically - "Need a Sked with Alaska (Via eQSL.cc)" The phrase "Via" is dumping a lot of my incoming email, and a lot of other's incoming email from what I've learned, because it's a typical spam filter term (short for the sex enhance drug trade name). eQSL, if you're listening, consider dropping the "Via" from the intermember mails.

Why (some) hams don't use eQSL Sep 3, 2008 09:07 PM

Regarding "eQSL is Not Accepted"... You can print the eQSL card. Would that not be sufficient to submit to ARRL for their awards? Is it simply the fact that the paper goes through the mail system that validates it? I can sit home and make up QSL cards from Venus with a drawing program, then photo copy them and send them to QRRL. I would think that a system like eQSL is much more prone to being "legit". But I don't think the "validity" of a contact is the issue. Hams simply don't make up phoney QSL cards. I eQSL everyone. If they want a paper card, and ask, I'll send them one.

My logging program (HRD) uploads the eQSL info automatically after I log a contact. No extra steps necessary. If you're logging in real time, as you're making contacts, it uploads the eQSL info as soon as you hit 'ENTER' to finish entering the contact. Craig 'Lumpy' Lemke www.n0eq.com N0EQ Craig Lumpy Lemke

eQSL Special Event ? Aug 31, 2008 05:28 AM
(Total replies: 1)
There's been a lot of posts about "what about a net" and "how to get more people involved". How about an eQSL special event station? Seems like every weekend there's several spec event stations celebrating everything you could ever imagine and lots of things you would never imagine. Design a really groovy looking eQSL card, run a ton of contacts, e-send them all a card. Seems like a good way to let hams know how simple it is. Perhaps apply for the temporary spec event callsign N0QSL. Deliberate ham pun? No QSL..;-) Anybody a big gun that might like to host it? If you're anywhere near me in Phoenix, I'll help you man the mic. Craig 'Lumpy' Lemke www.n0eq.com N0EQ Craig Lumpy Lemke

favorite dx antennae Aug 31, 2008 05:22 AM
(Total replies: 13)
My most productive wire antenna is an asymmetrical dipole. It's an 80m quarter on one side, 40m quarter on the other. I use an LDG tuner and it works great on everything from 80 to 10m. As the freq goes up, the pattern changes toward longitudinal along the length of the wire instead of broadside. And you get some GAIN when the leg(s) are more than a quarter.

more net times needed. Aug 31, 2008 05:16 AM
(Total replies: 5)
7.235 is clear until 0700z when the HHH net comes on. That's pretty late for most. There's a net just below that at about 7.233.500. I'm not sure when they come ON, but they typically end just before the triple H net starts. Anywhere in that freq area is a good guess. If you're up late, the triple H net is a great spot. I'm there a lot on my 5w QRP station from the Arizona Desert, either backyard remote or camped in the wilderness. Craig 'Lumpy' Lemke www.n0eq.com N0EQ Craig Lumpy Lemke
