FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 13, 2009
CQ to Accept eQSL Confirmations for Award Credit
(Hicksville, NY and Bedford, TX, January 13, 2009) - CQ magazine will
accept contact confirmations made on the eQSL.cc electronic confirmation
system
for its operating awards effective immediately, CQ Editor Rich Moseson,
W2VU,
and eQSL Founder and Webmaster Dave Morris, N5UP, announced today.
There will be certain limitations and procedural differences for different
awards, at least to start. Only confirmations from "Authenticity Guaranteed"
members of eQSL will be accepted, and in accordance with existing eQSL
policy, a
membership level of bronze or higher is required in order to participate in
award programs via eQSL.
"This is the first time that CQ has formally accepted anything other than
traditional paper QSL cards for its awards," said Moseson. "We have been
working
with Dave Morris and his team for several months to assure that the
integrity of
our awards programs will be protected and to create mechanisms to make it
easy
for both award applicants and award managers to use eQSL credits toward our
awards. All of our award managers have been involved in this process and
support
this action."
"We want to express our great appreciation to Dave and his team for their
willingness to do whatever was necessary to make this agreement possible,"
Moseson added. "It has been a pleasure working with them and we look forward
to
a long-lasting relationship.a
"We are pleased to be adding CQ to the top of our list of amateur
organizations that accept electronic QSLs," said Morris. "CQ has some of the
most highly sought-after awards, and we have been working behind the scenes
for
years to create credit submission mechanisms that would ensure the integrity
of
their programs without introducing any additional labor for the award
managers.
We believe the electronic QSL can drastically reduce costs, and the award
application mechanisms we have developed will provide for more efficient
processing at reduced cost for both the applicant and the award manager."
Applicants for the CQ DX and CQ DX Field Awards must print out their eQSLs
and submit them along with their traditional QSLs to a CQ checkpoint or to
CQ DX
Awards Manager Billy Williams, N4UF. eQSL has an automated process in place
for
applicants for CQ's Worked All Zones, WPX and USA-Counties awards. N5UP
explains
how that will work for the applicant:
"The applicant goes to the My Awards screen. He clicks on the particular
award he wants to apply for. This brings up a list of the credits our system
'thinks' he is entitled to. There are checkboxes that allow him to check
which
ones he wants to use, and we automatically pre-fill one credit per category
so
he doesn't have to do anything if he wants to take the defaults. At the
bottom
of the screen are two buttons: 'Submit to CQ' and 'Print Paper Application'of
The "submit" button will place all the selected QSOs into a file for the
award manager to access, while the "print" button will generate a printed
list
to be submitted along with the traditional application. PLEASE NOTE that ALL
applicants must send the award fee payment to the CQ Award Manager,
regardless
of how the application is submitted. Some CQ award managers are now
accepting
PayPal; see individual award web pages for details. All awards will continue
to
accept traditional QSLs as well as eQSLs. For the USA-Counties Award
(USA-CA),
applicants must note on their record books (or printouts) whether each
county
has been confirmed traditionally (with an "X" to the right of the entry) or
electronically (with an "E" next to the entry).

(http://www.eqsl.cc/)
For more information on CQ awards, visit the awards page on the CQ website
at
_http://www.cq-http://www.cq-http_ (http://www.cq-amateur-radio.com./)
Please note that the award rules posted on the
website have not yet been updated to reflect the acceptance of eQSLs. This
will
be done as soon as possible, but the policy takes effect immediately.
