Im gonna side with george here ... This global qsl service is the same as having a manager!.. Your sending them your log and they are printing and sending your cards for a pretty high price it looks like but its the lazy mans way to qsl. Eqsl is a whole different ball game and although i dont go after any eqsl awards or any thing (seems like everyone wants money these days and I cant afford it) I do upload my log to them for the guys that need it.. Hell its free ( unless youg going for awards) so why not . Dave N8DC

Joe wa6axe Al, there has to be a misunderstanding. I have had cards from GlobalQSL accepted by DXCC. Basically they are merely another bureau service. What may be recalled is that GlobalQSL was not permitted to print and mail cards from a US station and use the the ARRL incoming QSL service to forward that card to another US station. But printed cards from a DX station come through ARRL and are accepted by DXCC.

Joe wa6axe No I am not. I was very SPECIFIC when I emailed Bill. We ALL know eQSL is NOT good for DXCC but neither is GlobalQSL, UNLESS they have changed their position in the past year. I tried to find that email BUT have changed from EUDORA to OUTLOOK and it got trashed. :( I am going to email Bill again in order to have him clarify the League's position. -----Original Message----- From: KQ8M [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 26, 2009 10:29 AM To: 'Al Bailey'; 'Neal Campbell'; 'Jim WA9YSD' Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Dxbase] GlobalQSL service - do you use it? Joe wa6axe You guys are thinking of eQSL not GlobalQSL. 2 different things. GlobalQSL is not an electronic QSL. Yes you upload your QSL's to them but they print a REAL QSL then send to the station via the bureau system. You receive a REAL card in return. All the hoopla a year or so ago was over eQSL. I have sent over 700 cards and received many in return and the ARRL has accepted them.

Joe wa6axe Neal in answer to your question YES they are real QSL's, BUT, Bill Moore at the ARRL desk told me a year ago that they are no good toward DXCC. How they can tell they come from the service is beyond me but if they know they have come through the service they will NOT be counted. I would suggest you drop Bill another email to clarify this situation before you do any programming within DXBase which might be for naught.

Joe wa6axe They are real qsl card confirmations aren't they? They just print and mail qsl cards for you from your adif file if I understood it correctly. It seemed kinda expensive to me when I looked at it but I am sure its a matter of how much you want to spend on qsls.
