Yes that is a pity. I have no interest in receiving eQSL's (34 years chasing
DX I don't need many cards to increase my total. I've uploaded over 10'000
under 3 different calls and hope they are of some use to somebody. Oh well,
guess they will get it all sorted oneday.

Might I suggest that instead of pulling your logs that you try the
following.
1. Post a message short message to CQ-Contest indicating why you oppose the
eQSL policy
(QSLing is part of the contest process).
2. Go to eQSL.cc and reject each eQSL that was sent to you
3. When the reject QSL pop-up box appears, check "Other problem listed
below"
4. and in the box put the URL of the message you posted to CQ-Contest.
You can get the URL of your posting by going to
http://lists.contesting.com/_cq-contest/ and finding your posting.
This approach will allow us to use eQSL.cc to help rally a broader community
to encourage the eQSL.cc advisory board to reverse it decision and change a
good thing gone bad back to a valuable tool that can be used by us all and
not just DXCC award seekers.
Just a thought
