[DX] Email from ARRL President about eQSL's / DXCC

[Terry Dunlap]

I want to reinforce a point that Steve KU9C made earlier.  One of the 
problems I
see with eQSL.cc at the moment is that there is NO authentication required 
to show
that the user registered as KK6T is indeed the real KK6T.  This 
authentication is
AVAILABLE but not required.

Just to prove a point, I've gone ahead and registered on the eQSL.cc website as
P5SLIM.  My KK6T logs will probably get erased for this stunt but I thought 
it was
important that everyone know how easy it is at the moment to register with 
other
than your real call.

I would love to have eQSL be the answer for some of those hard to get 
cards.  In
fact I did just that.  I paid my $1 each to have two cards sent that I couldn't
seem to get any other way.  However it's apparent that I jumped the gun on this
and that the cards aren't good for anything except my files at the moment.
