QSL Cards

[WB9OMC]

Now - I can finally get to what brought me to this area in the first place.

Some of you who have worked me at one time or another and who have exchanged eQSL's with me may possibly have gotten some eQSL's with erroneous information. It is my fault, and I have recently spent a fair amount of time correcting that in my OUTBOX on the eQSL system. I will also post this off to the newly reformed mailing list in order that it reaches the largest number of 10-10 folks whose e-cards from me might have been wrong.

I *think* I now have my individual accounts set up correctly so that the eQSL's and the information on them accurately reflects where I was operating from AT THAT TIME. So, no /4 portable contacts should come back with a credit for Indiana when they should say Tennessee - or other silly screwups like that.

If you think you have worked me and exchanged a card via eQSL you may wish to compare whatever you (might have) printed with what's there now; hopefully this will not have adversely affected anyone's cards being used for an award.

The eQSL cards are the BEST in my opinion.
#1.) I won a FREE Gold Membership to eQSL
#2.) eQSL saves so much postage.
#3.) LoTW is a NIGHTMARE to renew a Certificate. Chandra just renewed, it was a NIGHTMARE!
The W3IZ at the ARRL, Volunteer, I guess was messing around in Chandra's WAS award account.
He was saying she set it up wrong or something about she didn't add a callsign rule.
She had the account for 3 years and KA1RWY never said anything.

Right now, I really have had it with the ARRL and LoTW, if it wasn't for those QST magazines
I would drop the ARRL and LoTW like a HOT TATER, because they guard the Certificates like GOLD
and then their workers can mess around in someones WAS award account like that.

Yeah eQSL is BETTER....bottom line...

Todd, sorry you had problems with LOTW. It would not be appropriate for me to comment on that, but I do appreciate the kind comments regarding eQSL.

I DO agree that QST is a good magazine, and I have to say that if there is one thing that ARRL does (IMHO indisputably) right, it is the books they publish. I have NEVER been disappointed, anything from a repeater directory to a full-size-with-CD-Handbook. A bit pricey at times but I think they give a good bang-for-the-buck in the book department. When I gave up my ARRL membership I really did miss QST; always thought the articles on operating, do-it-yourself, equipment reviews were first rate.

For 10-10#'s to count for awards they should be passed over the air on ten meters.
My next batch of QSL cards will omit all club #'s. If someone wants my # they will have to work me whereever that # applies.

I believe that was one of the requirements many years ago when I joined, to work other members on 10 to be eligible for
10-10 awards.
