[Dx-qsl] SSL added to MyQsl Service

[Danny Douglas]

>From the responses, it appears to me that no one WANTS a new system to work.
Why are we being negative toward an attempt to improve exchanges of cards?
There were lots (and still are) of complaints against LOTW and eQSL as well.
And both of them work, for what they are.

How about some positive suggestions on how to get a printed QSL from the DX
to us, without the expensive mails services, the costs of stamps, IRCs or
green stamps, and the long period of time between requests and receipts?
Today, even legal documents can be sent (and legally accepted by
authorities) by electronic means.  If a fax can be accepted as legal
documentation for such things as birth, death, marriage certificates,
insurance paperwork, deeds, etc.  why must something such as a simple
postcard for a hobby be such a scarey tought?  There is not a one of us, on
this group email, that cant simply set down and fake any card we wish, then
send it in for acceptance.  Its Our trustworthiness keeping us from it, and
for those who would fake any electronic card, there would be no difference
between that and what they may already be doing.
