Hey Gary, DON'T print the eQSL cards! DON'T store them on your PC! DON'T do ANYTHING different then you do now!
I cannot believe you feel that my suggestion to add eQSL upload ability into DXbase obligated YOU in any way. If you don't want to use the option...don't. And your question..."what awards do they use them for?" makes me realize you never knew what you were talking about in the first place. Don't participate if you would rather not. But don't think for a second your uninformed tirade usurps my right to ask for an OPTION I would like to see added.

So if I understand Paul correctly we should take the time to upload eQSL's so that impoverised hams abroad who cant't afford postal mail or bureau routings will be able to confirm their contacts. So where do they get the computer and internet access? Who pays for that? And after getting their eQSL's, what awards do they use them for?
