[CQ-Contest] Missing E-mail Addresses

[Jeff Davis]

Posting one's email on QRZ.com should be a *little* safer than posting it in the wild. After all, you have to have an account on QRZ.com and at least, theoretically, the only folks able to view your email from there would be other hams. Hopefully not spam farms. 

But what the original poster was talking about were electronic QSL cards that seem to get generated immediately after a QSO -- and almost always with an LoTW confirmation too. So in this case, hams are spamming other hams with digital QSL cards. It's some automated service that will quickly wear out its welcome, if it hasn't already...
