This message area covers logging of contacts.

Originally all logging was down with traditional paper QSL cards, that
were usually sent via the Postal Service, or a QSL Bureau, to other
stations around the country, or around the world. In ham radio, the term
"QSL" means "I acknowledge receipt of this contact". Some hams have the
walls of thei shack covered with the QSL Cards as "wallpaper".

Nowadays, with problems of loss or theft by mailing traditional QSL
cards...not to mention the delay in getting them delivered and
processed, electronic QSLing or EQSL, has emerged. The neat thing is
that EQSL's are faster and quicker than "paper QSL's".

Note that I am working on preparing batchfiles for these message areas,
and it may take some time to get these posts going.

Also, since I consider messages over 30 days old to be out of date on
my BBS, these messages are deleted after that point, and reposted once
a month, with new information, when required.
