Wes,

Please be so kind to stop ads of your service the way you do.

The ARRL DXCC is often a life long program. Yes, it is just a hobby, but
some of us take it seriously. If you have ever checked ther DXCC program,
you might see a clause, a participant can be DQed from the program for
presentation of forged or altered confirmations. What if the ARRL card
checkers find out, somebody is presenting a scanned copy of a card and they
suggest it forged? Do you realize that you put your users into such a risk?

Obviously you are free to establish your own awards to be issued towards
confirmations via your service. You are more than welcome to do that, but
make it clear from the very beginning that your confirmations are only valid
for your own awards.

Talking about the CQ Magazine, OK, they look into that, as you said. So let
them take their decision and then you can easily advertize your service
based on that. But let them take the decision, first.

Wes, it looks like your service still needs some more work to be done.

GL and 73,
Vladimir VE3IAE
