realtime eQSL support
Hi Matt,
Thanks for the suggestion. I have received a couple of requests for that feature but not too many. With all the other items on the agenda it may not make the next revision. 73, Scott N3FJP Serving the Amateur Radio Community with contesting and general logging software since 1997.

Thanks for your comments.? Actually I've been playing around with eQSL real time uploading and I have working code.? The advantage of course is that you only have to click on a contact and command button to upload it.? The disadvantage is that you can only post one at a time.? Another disadvantage is that I would have to distribute another support file, making the download of the installation files bigger. As easy as it is to upload an ADIF file and after playing around with the "real time" option I'm not sure how much of a value add it really is.? I'm still debating whether to include it in the next version or not, though I probably will. 73, Scott, N3FJP snkdavis@...

Hi Matt,for that feature but not too many. With all the other items on the agenda it may not make the next revision. thenThis may have already been asked but was wondering if there areany I've recently registered, got "AG'ed" and have loaded some ADIF fileshave the option to send it directly to eQSL. to eQSL. I'm very impressed. It's not too hard to upload a file of contacts from Scott's programs, but I would support and encourage some sort of auto upload feature. There are differences of opinion, but eQSL and LoTW seem to be the "next big thing." I'm getting on the bandwagon now - to save time later! Dan, K8WV |

The advantage of course isthat you only have to click on a contact and command button to upload it.The disadvantage is that you can only post one at a time.I think that's a good point. Uploading an ADIF file on eQSL is REALLY easy. In fact, with LoTW coming online creating and uploading the same ADIF file to eQSL and LoTW will probably be the easiest way overall. I assume, of course that LoTW will function as easily as eQSL. It certainly isn't as easy to get qualified. Even with requesting a duplicate license (couldn't find my original), scanning and e-mailing it, and creating a custom QSL, eQSL seemed a whole lot easier than LoTW. With LoTW I had to download the software, request the certificate, get my postcard password, go to the website, download the new software, enter the password and wait for the certificate which will be issued real soon now. I'm sure it will work FB, but it seems complex from here. BTW, tnx for the great software. I had some old logs in JR-EQF and Win-EQF. They imported beautifully to ACLog! Clearly yours are well thought out, mature programs. Dan, K8WV |

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. |
