Someone may want to organize a registered group mailing to Joca. Try asking the [EMAIL PROTECTED] reflector, I think there was a similar discussion there a week ago. 73 - Jim AD1C p.s.

Re: [DX-CHAT] QSL info
I have received several emails reminding me LOTW is, at best, only available for ARRL DXCC WAS. WHY??? Why can't the ARRL make LOTW information available via a 'read-only' search engine. Logbook search engines are a 'dime-a-dozen', the technology is readily available and does not have to be re-invented. There is nothing secretive about the fact I worked station XYX on 20m CW. Making QSL information readily available, to anyone,would not compromise anything. Awards like IOTA, for example,could then establish their own guidelines for how/when this information could be used in lieu of the hard/impossible to acquire QSL cards. The LOTW system is, I think we all agree,very secure and very accurate because of the way it was designed, implemented and managed. I think the next step is to use LOTW to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. c.c.

RE: [DX-CHAT] QSL info
Title: Message Why can't the ARRL make LOTW information available via a 'read-only' search engine. Quite simply, the ARRL does not want anyone "trolling" for QSOs. Either the information uploaded by both stations matches or it does not. To allow unrestricted searching would invite the followingabuse: W4TV searches for unconfirmed QSOs with: K4TV, W4TU,W4NU,W3TV, W3TU, W3NU, W4EV, W3EV on CW and W4TB, W4TD, W4TE on phone. Onfinding an entry that is "needed" sends the station/manager a card with a note claiming to have been the one to have made the the QSO "but QRM or QRN must have effected what you heard." There is an API available to award sponsors who wish to accept LotW confirmations. It is easy for them to submit an inquiry to LotW and get a confirmation or rejection. The ball is in their court ... 73, ...

Re: [DX-CHAT] QSL info
Well, for starters ... your right ... BUT online logs state band and mode only, no time or date. A contact means getting the call right, and an exchange of a correct signal report at the least. TROLLING for BUSTED CALLS, if you didn't get the call right, well maybe you should just delete it out of your log, it wasn't a valid Q in my book. I see it all too much lately guys with busted calls trying to find the manager or QSL route, oviously there is none until they find it's a bad call and correct it with the right one. But you know what? WHATEVER, if it makes them happy than I am happy. But, it was no real contact in my book, and everyone has books, they read them the way they see fit. That's why the ARRL does not want to publish the DATA, band and mode would be OK, date and times never. ESP contacts, busted calls, no confirmation on air of received report, all kind of sickening. GREED, it's a terrible thing. Have a good day, and make sure you get the call right. 73 Pete NA2P
RE: [DX-CHAT] QSL info TROLLing
Title: Message You are rightthe few B0Z0s ruin it for all. Just like the morons who decided to take 18 MHz, 17meter cards and decided they wanted to be top banders and toss in a period. 1.8 MHz WOW !!! I am on 160 and getting cards Sad but true. Now top banders either have to drive to ARRL like myself to get cards checked in person or mail the 160 cards to them for them to see Its hard to GET cards via direct mail sometimeswhy the hell am I gonna send a good card out in the mail again ! I guess ARRL has seen it all and are fed up with the B0Z0s so now everyone suffers. I wonder when someone---a bonehead--- will start an ESP contact net? I would love to listen when I am bored . 73 Pete NA2P From: N7MAL [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 5:44 PM To: Joe Subich, W4TV; 'DX Chat'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] QSL info TROLLing I have never heard of the Trolling thing until today.
