F'getaboudit Richard,
Since ARRL didn't invent eQSL they'll never recognize it for awards. They say eQSL isn't 'secure enough' to ratify QSOs. The people at eQSL have tried and even produced the AG thing and the 'good ol' boys' still weren't satisfied. Once you figure out the LOTW certificate and TQSL proccess, you should be all set with it. Most loggers upload to LOTW automatically, for eQSL it may involve a manual step or two, but even with that, eQSL is much easier to use and more enjoyable because you'll never get an electronic QSL card from LOTW. I do use both only to help out both groups.
