Hi Dave,

Yes I do the same, I upload to eQSL but don't use it myself.
I have nothing against eQSL "administrators" and it seems they're doing a good 
job, however the fact that matching is not "blind" and the fact you can claim 
"WSPR" QSOs or SWL QSLs that are technically no different that 2-ways QSLs 
leads to some abuses...

73,
Yan.
