[Logic] Wish List: LOGic Direct Interface with eQSL

[Carl J. Denbow]

You don't "buy the awards," but can purchase plaques that display the 
awards in a classy fashion.  eQSL has some pretty good security features 
(not mil spec like LOTW), and it is a very reputable outfit.  When I 
started this thread my intent was not to start a flame about eQSL but to 
simply ask if others would like this feature added to a future version 
of LOGic.  The consensus seems to be, with a few vocal opponents, that 
it wouldn't hurt to add it for those who would use it.  This number 
seems to be a minority -- but a goodly number -- of LOGic users.  I hope 
that Dennis is listening.  Thanks everybody for your response.

73,
