[50mhz] questions

[Bill VanAlstyne]

You really have to mention, though, that eQSLs are not valid for any ARRL
awards -- DXCC, VUCC, WAS, WAC, you name it. Not vaild. Also not valid for any
CQ awards -- WAZ, USCA, etc.

eQSLs are fun, but that's about it.

ARRL's Logbook of the World has been online almost a year now, and it has just
recently been certified by ARRL for DXCC credit. Not yet for VUCC,
unfortunately. But it will happen.

I personally like the tradition of exchanging paper QSL cards. It's something
tangible, physical, that was actually prepared by the operator at the other end.
I don't think there is anything that can replace the feeling of that.
