Program:  the eQSL system Presented by: Dave N5UP             Dave N5UP This month's program is by Dave N5UP, the founder of eQSL.cc.  Everyone is invited to attend to learn about the electronic qsl card exchange that Dave has created for Hams and SWL enthusiasts worldwide. eQSL.cc is a global electronic QSL card exchange for amateur radio operators and SWLs.  It is designed to be the fastest, easiest, and cheapest way to exchange QSO confirmations, eliminating the cost and time that regular QSL cards have required for the past half century. eQSL.cc's mission is to provide basic electronic QSL card exchange services to all amateurs and SWLs around the world FREE of charge.  Thus, they do not charge a mandatory membership or subscription fee in order to participate. In January 2009 they launched an interface with CQ magazine, allowing members to submit credits directly to CQ awards managers.  In March 2010 they launched an electronic interface to the DARC servers to allow our users to transmit credits into the DCL contest log.  Some organizations such as 10-10 and JARL have had informal acceptance policies toward our electronic QSLs.  It is a goal of eQSL.cc to make arrangements with ARRL, IOTA, and other amateur organizations to accept our eQSLs for awards and contests.  They believe their authenticated eQSLs are even more reliable than traditional QSL cards as confirmation of QSOs!  Go to www.eqsl.cc to find out more information.
