Thanks Jim, I do have my private key and I understand that it is my submitted QSL's validation for my log's acceptance into the LoTW file in Newington.
If I were to enter an e.QSL into my log and then submit that log to the LoTW program how would LoTW know if the QSO has been confirmed via e.QSL? Would LoTW care? Or to put it another way .... are you saying that an e.QSL'd QSO from W7XYZ in my log submission would -only- be accepted by the LoTW program if there is already a private key associated with W7XYZ? If W7XYZ does -not- hold a private key would LoTW accept a "laundered-via-my-log" e.QSL to me from him? Thank you for your patience and help. I'm obviously having trouble understanding this issue. 73!

Can't happen. Your QSOs are signed with YOUR private key, and their QSOs are signed by THEIR private key. The private keys are issued by ARRL, and must be certified via postal mail to your home address. There is no way to cheat the system in the way you describe. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us _______________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
