[Dxbase] Joe wa6axe - eQSL lessons learned - update to my previous

Sun Sep 6 22:56:59 EDT 2009

To all:
Oh well! I am "slow"!! The learning curve is now
getting better - HI!!
After playing with the eQSL website (my INBOX QSOs
and Archived QSOs) - the light finally came ON!!
The eQSL website DOES filter/try to match the
QSOs. In your Inbox or Archive area, "if" you see
the ICON (way far right side) for both "Reject" and
"Confirm" -- that simply means that the QSO sent in
by the "other station" DOES NOT match what you sent
in via your adi file. In my case I took my list of
"No QSO found" that my TEST EXE program printed - and,
REJECTED each of the QSOs that were on my list as
"No QSO found".
NOW - when I download my new adi file from eQSL website,
the total QSOs is only 231 versus the 269 from yesterday.
When I IMPORT that adi file with the 231 Q's -- ALL IS OK.
I can see that the eQSL website (for anyone who IS truely
wanting to use it and it's info) information NEEDS to
be manually verified and all BOGUS Q's REJECTED - then,
the adi file download is usable 100% -- or -- you do not
manually verify the info and just let the TEST IMPORT
program FILTER it - kicking out the BOGUS Q's ...
It sounds like the one thing that someone MIGHT really
want to use the eQSL website for would be if the user is
going for the CQ USA County Award. But, beyond that -
I have not heard of anyone else using the eQSL website
for anything.
I personally just upload my LOG - so that is anyone else
wants to use my contact - they can -- but, not me!
If anyone is wanting to download (for whatever reason)
their own INBOX adi file -- go to your eQSL INBOX webpage
and scrolldown to the very bottom and you will see the
"wording" that says"
"Download entire InBox in ADIF format (for importing into some loggers)"
Just passing the above info as FYI.
