DARC & eQSL ---> The DX and HF Contesting Committee of the DARC and the operators of the Electronic QSL Card Centre (www.eQSL.cc) agreed upon setting up a development partnership. The goal is to create an electronic server-to-server transmission system for submission of electronic QSLs (eQSLs) to the online DARC Contest Logbook (DCL). Soon eQSL users will be able to transmit their eQSLs electronically into the DCL for application of various DARC awards. [TNX DX Newsletter]
