[QSL-Announce] My QSL Service

[dave]

Les;

Have you checked with the ARRL to see if they will accept those cards..

It would be a super service if they would. I think there might be a 
problem with that  for two reasons; 1. the League is pushing the LoTW 
program almost to the point of fanaticism and 2. eQSL has a similar 
structure which the League will not accept for reasons of "security". 
Everyone, it seems to the outsider, is a considered a potential 
"cheater" in the DXCC program; hence the need for the League or one of 
its accredited checkers to personally check everyone's cards submitted 
outside LoTW.

Dave, W5WP

BTW: I too have the Millennium award. Worked it with my old 
Hallicrafters "Hurricane".
