I just had a DX person in France do this to me, and I really wanted to hear back from them. Then there’s the folks who will go ahead and log your response to their archive, but not bother responding themselves. I just got an eQSL reply last week which was from 5 months ago. Yes, it can still take months for people to respond back via eQSL (although it shouldn’t). When I first signed up for eQSL, I was surprised at the stack of QSL cards that were already there waiting for me. I like the automatic lookup of related info that it does. It can be searched easily for the latest information. Unless you desire to print and read over 250 pages of user guide, we recommend visiting the wiki directly. This manual is a direct export and PDF of that wiki. You can customize the captions for the custom fields. Ham Radio Deluxe Guides and Manuals We have transitioned from a static PDF for our manuals and user guides to a dynamic online manual. I really wish more people would use this service, as it is much cheaper than sending paper QSL cards. This has lots of pieces, but right now I’m looking only at the logbook. The problem here is that the answer will usually be “no”. The question, as always, is “does the recipient have eQSL?”. I like eQSL because it is easy to design and send a printable QSL card (yes, I actually print the ones I receive) to people around the world without the need for postage and SASE requirements (not to mention the guys who also want $2 for return postage). It can be a real chore to even get a QSL card to someone in a foreign country, and even more of one to actually get a reply back. I have just now started using LOTW, and find eQSL easier to use, so I won’t be uploading anything much to LOTW unless it is a DX contact that I’d really like to hear back from. I seem to have had just about as much luck as the author of this post, in regard to my experience with eQSL.
