[Dxbase] eQSL

Sun Mar 12 12:05:28 EST 2006

I again ask - do we ONLY look at one award system? There is a heck of a lot
more hams in the world who enjoy ham radio without paying substantial US
dollars for a piece of paper and have chosen a free or minimal cost
electronic method. 
Ask anyone who uploads to both eQSL and LoTW and ask which service has more
QSO matches.... You will no doubt find about 10-20% more matches with eQSL
then LoTW. 
Anyway enough is enough so this will be my last post on the subject but Jack
et al. really need to consider this option.
