Mystery eQSL Not Delivered
« on: July 07, 2020, 0015 UTC »
I received an email via Anonymousemail anonymizer service on Sunday at 7:08 pm, but there was no message or attachment (just a long string of alpha-numerics). Subject line was "eQSL" but there was no indication of station.

It seems like a much appreciated attempt to eQSL failed due to an email glitch at one end or the other. Just letting the relevant operator know, in case this happened with all attempts to eQSL for whatever transmission it relates to, and so they can re-send if possible.

Thanks and 73s!

Poacher/Flexoman -

I received a similar email on July 1.  I did not have an attachment but a link to anonymouse mail service/fee.  I tried to search to figure out who we might have all logged on HFU in late June/early July but came up empty.  There are two Poacher and I logged which could explain the email.  A testing broadcast of "Radio Randy Rush" and Euro Pirate JT.  Anyone else I logged I know what eQSL to expect or not expect.  None of the unid broadcasters in that timeframe I logged did either of you join in.

On the other hand, X-FM broadcasts include comments on the backlog of eQSL - perhaps some response back from there.  Those are my quick and dirty guesses.

To the broadcaster from where the eQSL was sent, thanks for the acknowledgement and transmission.

I believe the mystery QSL's via the anonymouse email service are likely to be from Foxy AM? Both of mine were received via this anonymizer (the second one ended up in my Spam box). Thankfully mine arrived intact!

Thanks for the great forensics Ct. Yankee and Skipmuck, and for the additional data point Flexoman. Group effort and mystery solved it seems.

I wonder why a few of these made it through a-ok from Foxy AM, while others got hung up somewhere in transit. Ah the mysteries of the interwebs.

Thanks again for follow-up fellow HFUers!
