[UK-CONTEST] Electronic QSL's

[John G3LZQ]

Dave this one is a regular cherry I asked
that the comments be removed 2-3 years ago
but nothing appears to have happened and
since I have no interest in eQSL's do not
review their site..I do from time to time get
asked the question are they accptable and as
Colin commments definately no. However I
would add that in a recent RSGB Website
revamp all reference to eQSL not being
acceptable has been removed. This will be
corrected in due time..

OK Colin, I will email N5UP who posted the
original on eQSL and update
him. As I said, I know there are some on here
that slate it, one of
which has already replied. Personally I don't
chase awards apart from
the occasion DXCC update, but I actively use
eQSL for my personal aims.
I don't accept it is as open to abuse that
some claim, if I receive an
eQSL for a QSO I haven't made there is
normally a reason, ie the chap
uploaded with his home call instead of a
contest special. All eQSLs
which are not in my log are simply rejected
in eQSL. I have never had
totally bogus ones. But everybody is entitled
to their views.
