E Qslcard Adif Logbook
Posted : admin On 4/12/2022
The Electronic QSL Card Centre is a repository for QSL card information and logs. Senders and recipients of QSL cards can come to the exchange at any time to send and retrieve cards, whether their counterparts are registered users yet or not! Why The Others Just Don't Cut It. The Electronic QSL Card Centre. The Electronic QSL Card Centre! Logbook/OutBox Selector List of your Logbook you uploaded, sending eQSLs. The Electronic QSL Card Centre. This will convert your entire ADIF log file into eQSL cards Tuesday, January 26, 2021 21:36 UTC. For more than the last two years, every card received here has been previously confirmed by the sender on qrz.com and/or LoTW. That shows the widespread acceptance and use of the ADIF format. I have every qsl card received since 1969 except for two which were peed on by the shack cat. He was forgiven and is still around here at age 19.
- What is an eQSL? Clever hams were sending electronic QSL cards by e-mail years ago. Back then, that was the only way to send them.
But e-mail is not a very easy way of exchanging cards. So, in 1998, we created the first eQSL exchange and called it www.QSLCard.com, and it has attracted a huge following. Our system does not use e-mail at all. So you really don't 'send' eQSLs. Instead, it stores your log in a large database. When another user uploads his log, we look at all the log entries that 'match', and allow you to display and print eQSLs from those matching log entries.
In April, 2000, we converted the entire system to a very robust and high tech database-oriented system and renamed our site www.eQSL.cc, the Electronic QSL Card Centre.
We are now the ONLY exchange for electronic QSL cards, with 18.3 million eQSLs from 253 countries currently online.
And, since virtually all of our technology is covered by patents pending, you can be assured that this will continue to be the place to maintain your online eQSL log!
- Why do we need Electronic QSL cards?
- Conventional QSL cards take time to write out
- Conventional QSL cards cost money to print and mail
- You have to wait a long time to get a conventional QSL card in the mail
- If your QTH or other fixed data change, you have to reprint the cards
- Rare DX stations would much rather use electronic QSL cards (read GU3WHN's comments)
- What does an eQSL card cost? Nothing. The eQSL.cc basic service is free. We only ask that you make a donation if you want to use a custom graphic of your own design, or if you upload a large number of logbook entries, or if you want to participate in contests and awards we offer.
- What does an eQSL card look like? Here is a sample card. When printed, the card will typically be about the same size as a conventional QSL card, as long as you don't change the dimensions of the browser box to make it too wide or too high.
- Where can I post my comments about the eQSL.cc system? You can post your comments on the User Comments Page. The Comments page is not a place to ask questions or present problems, but should be used to sing our praises and tell everybody how much you love us! There are other places to ask questions and get help on problems.
- Does ARRL accept eQSLs for awards and contests? No. ARRL plans to have its own mechanism for submitting logs for DXCC. You will need to download special logging software to use their Logbook of the World. Check the DXCC information page for details.
- How do you prevent fraudulent eQSLs from being posted? Any user in the eQSL.cc system who wants to have his authenticity guaranteed can upload a scanned image of his amateur operator or station license, or his SWL license. We will visually inspect it to verify that it appears to be a valid license issued to the same callsign as the user's callsign. Then we issue an Authenticity Guaranteed certificate and put the Authenticity Guaranteed logo onto each outgoing eQSL. This is the equivalent of a digital signature.
We have also begun a new program in which Volunteer Guarantors can authorize a user. When 3 of these volunteers who have been issued Authenticity Guaranteed certificates by eQSL.cc have approved a new user, that user will automatically be issued an Authenticity Guaranteed certificate. For more details, read the Authenticity Guaranteed page.
- How does eQSL.cc make any money at this? We don't. Our expenses are covered by a few select advertisers and by donations from users who find our service valuable.
- Why don't you just list all the QSL cards? In order for electronic QSL cards to become widely accepted by contest and awards authorities, there must be sufficient security in place to prevent fraud.
If you are the authorized recipient of a QSL card, you should be able to look in your logbook and find the callsign, date, time, band, and mode of each QSO you want to retrieve a QSL from. If you are a registered user, you'll get a list of all cards waiting for you, but it will only show the callsign, date, and mode, and you must upload a matching log entry with all of the correct information. Once your OutBox matches your InBox, you will be able to display and print the eQSLs for all matching log entries.
Why aren't you called eQSL.com? What's the CC? When domain names were opened up a few years ago to allow non-US firms to grab .com domains, a French company registered eQSL.com and has been holding it in reserve ever since. Their application has nothing to do with amateur radio or eQSL Cards.
However, you can find us under:
- eQSL.cc
- eQSL.org
- QSLCard.com
- QSLCards.com
