I to would like to see eqsl support on a qso by qso basis by a check
box. I see eqsl being a highly effective DX chasing tool even if
LOTW achieves it's place in the sun. Being able to effortlessly
submit the eQSLs via your logging program is preferable to trying to
remember what subset of your primary logfile has already been
uploaded. When your log file gets large, this can become a headache.
I also see it as a way to give that extra insurance that the 15
minute rule in LOTW doesnt end up keeping you from achiving a hit on
LOTW QSL rules. Fifteen minute overlap rules may be fine for folks
that are 100% computer logs, but anyone that has operated with paper
logs knows that sometimes checking the clock for every contact is
next to impossible.
I plan to keep using my eqsl log as a means for giving a quick
acknowlegement. If someone wants my qsl for chasing a certificate or
something that does not recognize eqsl....the tools built in to that
system are great for requesting paper, a formal LOTW submission, or
email follow up or whatever it takes to complete the contact
verfication and records.
Keep up the good work Scott...and best of all keep making it simple.
