Wow, K0PP's comments about eQSL really caught me by surprise. 

I've been a ham for over 40 years and I had no idea that there was any
sentiment in the amateur community to boycott eQSL because they believe it
makes a profit! I used eQSL for years without paying anything before I
decided that it was a sufficiently worthwhile endeavor to support
financially. I have no idea if eQSL makes a profit or not but, quite
frankly, even if it does, I can not understand why anyone would object to
someone making a profit for providing a lawful service which others find
sufficiently useful to support. What's next? Should we urge amateur radio
operators not to buy any of their equipment or supplies from any store or
company that might make a profit on the sale? Since when did making a profit
become bad? 

I am a life member of ARRL and also support and use LOTW. However, I believe
that the ARRL's LOTW came into existence directly as a result of the
pressure created by eQSL to move the process of confirming amateur radio
contacts into the digital age. 

The fact is that many, many thousands of hams, including me, have found
eQSL's approach interesting, useful and FAST! They use it every day. Most
every other major full-featured logging program supports uploading and
downloading from eQSL and DX4WIN would be foolish not to support that
ability. I urge everyone to fully support both eQSL and LOTW and to post
their logs to both sites. There is no cost for doing that.

As long as ARRL doesn't credit eQSLs for DXCC and RSGB for IOTA they are
of no value for serious DXers.

LoTW is a different thing. It seems RSGB is looking ways to use it for
IOTA, too.
