[CQ-Contest] eqsl.cc patents?

[Michael Tope]

My friend has a saying that the best modes of communications
are the ones that involve only the two principal parties with no
middle men (read HF operation vs FM repeaters). Sounds like
this principle should be applied to QSLing as well (yes I know,
the post office).
