[Dx-qsl] eQSL Changes

Thu Apr 4 15:15:01 2002

Tom,

Fortunately, since physical QSL cards will be unaffected by these proposed
additions in the rules, you can still send a paper request for a QSL card
with a note of explanation and argue your case.  And I think the situation
where the "busted" call gets the on-line credit is the reason why most
on-line logs list limited information for you to verify a QSO.  Time will
tell.

Labels simply need to be verified -- a signature across one or a "Valid QSO"
stamp is sufficient.

As far as 7O, I strongly suspect you're correct.  But nothing will happen
until & unless the 7O1YGF ops talk to the DXCC desk; until that happens, the
DXCC folks have nothing to work with, and 7O status has to stay "pending
documentation" !

What worries me about e-QSLing and uploading of logs is that what if a
DXpedition gets MY call wrong
like GM4FDT or GM4FDG and the wrong call is
loaded onto the QSL server.

I might have to agrue the toss that it was in fact ME that was worked.
What if the "wrong"call spies the log entry and claims the QSO for himself?

The red herring about printed labels is a non starter.
QSL managers can verify and authroise cards well enough
without having to worry about whether or not the act of
producing a label is an "electronic QSL"...............

Some writing is illegible - therefore a label is a logical progression,
providing it can be verified if required.
Major expeditions nowadaws with 100,000
QSL's in the log simply could not cope if they were required to QSL by hand
and a lot of people would be disappointed.

And finally - if the 701 boys submit their "paperwork" can I assume that
their operation will be as good as the P5????   I would support the idea.
I doubt if anyone could go to Yemen and operate openly an amateur radio
station without any form of permission.  I mean - if you or I tried it, we
would be immediately locked up as a spy - or worse!
