[DX] eQSL cards - NOW ACCEPTED - for DXCC

[Bernie McClenny, W3UR]

I know this subject is going to quickly get moved somewhere else so I
better say what I have to now.  Also I think everyone needs to know what is
going on.  I really don't think this is an E-QSL.  E means electronic and
QSL means confirmation.  I don't see this as the way it was intended to
be.  The way I see it and I hope many others understand it to be as
follows.  An E-QSL should be a fast, cost efficient.  It gets you DXCC
credit and no hassle of getting a QSL card.  If you want the QSL card you
can mail for it or print it directly on your computer.  Although the one
you print will not count for DXCC, it's the e confirmation that will count
for DXCC! The e-confirmation that takes place between the central ARRL DXCC
LOTW, the DX stations log and you.

This e-QSL.cc thing does not do that.  I wonder if everyone who supplies
their logs realizes that e-QSL.cc is now their QSL manager and they are
making money at it?  It doesn't sound right to me.  If these people who
loaded their logs do not agree that e-QSL.cc is their manager it is just
like HH2HM being their QSL manager, without permission!

Is e-QSL.cc the QSL manager?
