[Dx-qsl] finding a QSL route for EY8MM - and just about anything else

Thu Aug 26 19:49:37 EDT 2004

You'll find the Pathfinder web site useful in situations like this --
visit http://www.qsl.net/pathfinder/WebClient . Access to this site is
completely free.
When you visit this site, your browser will display two panes. On the
left side of the upper pane, enter EY8MM in the "Target Callsign" box.
You'll find 12 grey buttons in the middle of the upper pane. Clicking
one of these buttons searches a particular web site for information
about EY8MM's QSL route, displaying results in the lower pane. Click the
K4UTE button, for example, and you'll immediately see the Nodir's QSL
Manager, and his QSL Manager's postal address. Having entered a callsign
once, you can thus proceed to check multiple sites for QSL route
information by simply clicking away with your mouse. Even when you find
the desired route on the first or second mouse click, it's a good idea
to corroborate this information with the other sources.
Several of these grey buttons search well-known QSL databases that are
accessible from the web; try clicking each of these:
QRZ -- searches the QRZ.com database
OZ7C -- searches Boye OZ7C's QSL database
Buck -- searches the HamCall database
K4UTE -- searches Bill K4UTE's QSL database
RW1QM -- searches the ON6DP, SM5ARL, EA5EYJ, and N7CTY QSL databases
Octavia -- provides QSL routes for stations in Armenia, Azerbajan,
Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrghyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Ukraine,
Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan
QSLInfo -- searches the DB0SDX, DL2CC, ON6DP, and OZ-QSL databases
DXS2004 -- displays DX Spots captured in the DX-Summit Spot Database
during 2004 (spot notes often contain QSL information)
DXS -- displays DX Spots captured in the DX-Summit Spot Database during
the selected year (you can choose 1997 through 2003)
Google -- performs a Google search for the callsign (amazingly
effective!)
GOLIST -- searches the GOLIST database. This is intended by the GOLIST's
proprietor as an introduction to its capabilities, and so provides a
limited number of searches. The "My Callsign" box on the right of the
upper pane must contain your callsign, or no search will be performed.
CBA -- this button is unique in that it determines the Target Callsign's
DXCC country and searches or displays that country's online callbook if
one is available. Clicking the CBA button with the Target Callsign set
to EY8MM displays the Tajik online callbook, which contains a list of EY
calls and QSL routes -- including Nodir's. If you change the Target
Callsign from EY8MM to OH2BH and then click the CBA button, you'll see
Marty's QSL route from the Finnish callbook. If you change the Target
Callsign to VU2WAP and click CBA, your browser's status bar will inform
you that no online callbook is available for Indian callsigns.
There are many more web sites with QSL information than those listed
above; some of these are rather specialized, and thus may not be of use
to every operator. If you'd like the ability to choose which web site is
searched by each of the 12 buttons, you can download and install the
Pathfinder application by visiting www.qsl.net/dxlab . Like the
Pathfinder web site, the Pathfinder application is completely free.
