Connectivity is a very important point.  This is one of the reasons
that a web only eqsl system without digital signatures is lame.
If each QSO is signed with a digital signature, it can be snail mailed,
carried by package radio, printed on paper or any other means.
The only thing it takes is a 32 bit computer or better to do the
math.

I understand.  EQSL will never be a replacement, but an addition to
paper.  What it will do is give amateurs an option of how to QSL and
I hope will reduce the number of stock cards.
