I usually avoid 14 Mhz because it can get like this, everyone piles onto one frequency to work a "Rare Station". 21 Mhz and 24 mhz are very quiet during the day. This is Ham Radio at its worst. I shall be including some videos of contacts that are free from this type of behaviour. This is atypical but shows the problem of geographical rarity.

E-QSL Systems

E-mail Print PDF

Well I have QSL verifications on E-QSL, LOTW and QRZ.COM. The trouble is each of them has a low rate of verification, and they will not accept each other as evidence, so you have to work on each of them separately. Even worse different stations support different single schemes making it very tedious and difficult to go the green (paperless route) QSL route. It is possible to do it. You get a lower rate back, as not every distant station has internet access.

The EQSL giants do not talk to each other. They appear not to get on well. Even IOTA does not accept E systems, except its own.

I have another issue of stations not adding the /M suffix, which also drops the totals as computers are exact at matching.

I now have 75 countries confirmed on eqsl and slightly less on LOTW. I have worked 136 countries, that is the easy bit compared to getting the cards or E QSL cards back. Still taking what I can get I have now reached 75 on EQSL as a mobile. 100 is all I would like.
