 My QSLs - My Awards - My DXCC - My WAS ...

There are many ways to collect a confirmation for a QSO!

The standard way "QSL via buro" is easy and I prefer to send and receive a printed card via our radio club DARC.
However, if you send me a card directly to my homeadress (see: www.qrz.com/DL3FCG) , I will return my QSL to 
you 100% via the same way. But: please include enough return postage to cover the cost for a letter to Europe (1$) and Non-EU (2.50$).

Beside the "good-old-way" of QSLing, I am using also the elctronic way of QSL ! 
The two well introduced platforms LotW - Logbook of the World   and eQSL  are fed with my logbook dates regularly.

On both databasea my logbook form Germany DL, Tenerife EA8 and Denmark OZ are up to date.

 

Do you want to see if cards waiting for you on eQSL? Please check it on the right !

As per September 2006 I have uploaded more than 7.700 eQSL and received 950 electronic QSL in my Inbox on  www.eqsl.cc.

Beside the "more easy to work" DX countries, some really rare ones are confirmed by eQSL. See some nice examples:

For those who like to chase for DX and counting all the band  and country points for the famous DXCC award program, the  platform "LotW - Logbook of the World" is a MUST !

You can combine your already submitted award credits with your elctronic QSLs and get an instant feedback of your current overal standings for all the DXCC awards (e.g. Mixed, CW, SSB, RTTY, per band etc..) .

In addition the WAS - Worked all states award of the CQ-magazine is supoorted and it has been reported that more awards will be supported somewhen in the future (maybe IOTA, WAC etc.)

As per November  2007 I have uploaded  12.328 QSOs into LoTW and got 1.767 confirmed.
