[Dx4win] DXCC / LoTW credits

[Ken Kopp]

Hello Dave, others,

It's my understanding that if one were to (pay for) and print a 
QSL from the e.QSL website and then physically send/mail it 
to Newington it would be rejected because the League won't 
accept e.QSL's.  

As an aside, I wonder how a field QSL checker would 
deal with an eQSL?  Are there guidelines for them regarding 
e.QSL's?  I am assuming that the printed out QSL's are in 
some way labeled ...? 

I am aware that e.QSL does have a way to "validate" a user.
Apparently their method of "validation" isn't acceptable to the
League. 

There seems to be no way for the League to detect an e.QSL
that's been "laundered" by submitting the QSL via a LoTA
submission.

It would appear that -if- one can submit a laundered e.QSL 
via LoTW there is little reason for the League to continue their
stringent methods that have made the DXCC program so creditable, 
and that's sad.

I have 12K+ QSO's to submit, but I'm now having second thoughts
about participating in the program.
