Well the only problem with it is that the ARRL has tried to destroy it. Even though eQsl was first to have it. There is no reason in the World for the ARRL to not accept eQSl" As they require proof that the people do have calls.
The ARRL looks at it as a chance to make money as if they do not make enough from their high priced membership. Yet that membership doesn't cover the QSL. And I am a member of the ARRL. But it is sad that they try and make money from the amateur community. They Tee me off~! And now if you will excuse me. 73 good bye and I am through speaking

So-So

Used Eqsl for a while but found it annoying when I started receiving eqsl requests for stations I never worked. I did not bother to even use LOTW just by reading all of the hoops you have to jump through with the ARRL I knew it would be nothing but a big PITA. I'll stick with REAL qsl cards sent by mail or through the buro.

I have had nothing but headaches with LotW (made by engineers for engineers).
I LOVE the simplicity of eQSL. I don't care if it doesn't count for ARRL's DXCC. The DXCC is only a piece of PAPER to me! These "awards" are only PAPER, they are not made of gold or silver, so who cares!?!
I enjoy amateur radio for ME not for the ARRL! I confirm QSLs for me, not for the ARRL. I upload to LotW twice a year, I upload to eQSL after every contest because it is so easy! Just upload your ADIF file to eQSL before converting it to a TQ5 file for the LotW.
If all you are interested in is wallpaper use the LotW. If you enjoy simplicity that works,
use eQSL!

Interesting for SWLs but ham radio...no...There is nothing like a QSL via snailmail plus it counts toward ARRL Awards...
Work on the security to get rid of possible fraud...

A great service

I've been using eQSL for a few years now and think it is a great service. I have had custom paper QSL cards made in the past and mailed them all, so for the previous reviewer who thinks eQSL users are cheap, get a life. I wanted to sign up for LOTW but the process for non US hams is ridiculous. I think eQSL fits the bill nicely. I just wish more hams would sign up. I have at least 500 QSO's in the log from non-users. But it is a matter of choice.

Flame Flame Flame. I like eQSL and also send 'real' QSLs. I don't use LOTW because it's a pain in the proverbial. PLEASE! Stay away from eQSL and keep your opinions to yourself. P.S. I've been a ham since 1969, and operated as DX from many countries.
I QSL'd all the sent QSLs to me.

I kept getting emails from eQSL saying I had QSL cards but I do NOT use eQSL.SOME think this site is the BOMB but I think it's a JOKE myself.The eQSL's are NOT good for ARRL awards programs.I think MOST folks use it because they can NOT afford a REAL QSL card & the required POSTAGE needed to send them.Sounds like if that's your reason them just MAYBE your in the WRONG HOBBY!I SEND & RECEIVE only REAL QSL cards here so eQSL forget sending me those UNWANTED emails & USELESS eQSL cards PLEASE!!!!You are now on my BLOCKED email list anyway.(NO I do NOT wish to make a DONATION)

I check for incomming QSLs everyday. Still have a bunch to load to the database. I have a good collection of QSLs now. I recommend it.

A Compelling Alternative to LoTW
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
I gave up on LoTW finding the service to be overly complex, rank amateurish (in the wrong sense of the word) and remarkably unbecoming to an organization like the ARRL.
eQSL, however, is fast, convenient, well organized and a joy to use. QSOs logged into Ham Radio Deluxe automatically and immediately are sent to eQSL for processing...making QSLing far easier and timely. For those concerned about "fraud" amateurs at both ends of the QSL process can request authentication to ensure the sending party is who he/she claims they are. Yes, as for workarounds that can compromise the merits of an award I assume that's a possibility. However, keep in mind this is only a hobby and those who want to be dishonest are going to do so.

If all that matters in the world is one more award then, perhaps, another QSL-road might be taken. I am not a paper chaser. I use eQSL to say hello and thanks for the QSO. Nothing more. I get great satisfaction sending and receiving them. I've received paper QSLs in the mail that have had the contact info computer generated. Is this any better? I don't think so. But they are appreciated and direct-mail responded to.
