[Dxbase] eQSL

[Bill Parry]

Paul,

I decided to upload my logs to eQSL sometime ago. I usually update the logs
each time I upload to LOTW. I do this because I get eQSL card requests. I
don't contribute money to the system. It is no problem to look up the last
date of upload by looking at the last QSL uploaded on the eQSL system.

As to supporting only ARRL awards, those are the awards that most hams want.
They are the "gold standard".  I need to include some of the CQ awards in
that statement. Because hams like yourself and others are interested in
eQSL, I decided to take the time to upload my log files regularly.

On the other hand, please don't run down what the ARRL has done with LOTW
and what DXBase has done. Both of these are outstanding. I am hoping that
the CQ awards are coming to LOTW next.

73,
Bill, W5VX
