[RTTY] CQ to accept EQSL for awards

[Rick Smith]

  I have used both EQSL and LOTW for a few years now.  I have also used them for expedition calls (zk1, vp5, v31) and the big difference that I see in the two systems are what happens when you submit a log.  When the other Ham sends in an alleged contact with you; In EQSL you get sent the contact information for you to agree or disagree to get it into your credits and his.  In LOTW you do not see any contact info from the other station, unless it matches.  I have several "contacts" that show up that are not in my log.  Are these poor record keeping on their or my part, or just folks fishing to see if they can get a confirmation?  They may have heard me working others and not made it or thought I answered them and I did not.  Or they may be just trying to see if they can get anything back without working me.  There is no filter on dishonesty in this Hobby or any other for that matter.  
   We have had to prove, with airline ticket stubs and license copies, that we were actually in the countries that we claimed to operate from when we claimed to be there.  This is because someone before us claimed operations from places where they were not.  Rules like that keep the DXCC process honest.
