QSL received from posts at HF Underground?
« on: November 02, 2026, 1321 UTC »
I see a LOT of "Please send QSL to " email address in the posts.

Does this actually work? Do posters actually receive QSL card(s) from their posts at HF Underground?

Depends on the station - some will send QSL's unsolicited if you have an email in your signature and some require a separate report from your logging here.  Of course there are those that don't QSL at all :)

Gave it a try (including email for QSL in my reception posts). So far, was able to obtain several eQSLs by posting at HFUnderground when no email address was given in broadcast. I didn't realize this works, but now I do.

I have never had a European pirate eQSL strictly off a post here.  I have had to email them all directly - some responded with eQSL's and others with QSLs.
