I guess > it has been 2 years since I even checked there to see what > I had. I do not want to start a "Religious War" here however I agree 100% that eQSL has no value for American Awards. HOWEVER - by not uploading your ADIF file to eQSL, you are ignoring the needs of many thousands of underprivileged hams around the world, many in rare countries, who cannot afford to use the Mails or local QSL buros. I do not use eQSL to print cards and I suggested a large percentage follow the same pattern, however, if you check with anyone who is very active in DX and upload to both LOTW AND eQSL, you will find more countries "confirmed" via eQSl than LOTW. At least my small sampling shows this result. This is my final post on this OFF TOPIC discussion but I urge everyone to support the foreign hams who's really only way of receiving cards is via eQSL. 73 de Paul VE3SY
