As far as I know, the ARRL will only be accepting their own brand of Internet-based QSLing, not eQSL.
When I started putting my log on eQSL and receiving eQLS, I made the mistake of putting a "Y" in the QSL received field, before I realized the eQSLs were no good for ARRL awards. Later I went through and changed them to "N" and put "eqsl" in the notes field. Now, when I get a real QSL card, I have to remove the note. It's becoming more confusing as time goes on...

I don't know about everybody else, but with the ARRL move toward sanctioning Internet-based QSLing, I have begun using eQSL. It works OK, it is fast, but it is not as exciting as opening envelopes from the mailman. I still enjoy - and can't imagine ever abandoning - the traditional practice of sending and collecting "real" QSL cards. The problem is that DX4WIN regards a QSL as a boolean [Yes/No] event - you either have a confirming QSL, or you do not. With the arrival of e-QSL's, I will want to track more than one receipt per QSO: When did I send/receive an eQSL? When did I send/receive a physical QSL? And, of course, there would need to be reports that differentiate, for example "e"-DXCC versus "classic"-DXCC. Is anyone tracking those two mechanisms in DX4WIN today? How? -larry K8UT
