Greetings,
One of the problems of eqsling is if there is more than
one central logbook server, then how does one find which
logbook a person uses.
I think the solution to this is a call sign information
server. I don't really have the time to do this by myself,
but I could provide DB and web services, plus help out on
the design and coding. The idea is you send the call
sign and it will do one of the following:
1. Return the call sign information (email, elogbook
server, cert, etc)
2. Return a redirect to the correct call sign
information server. This would provide a way to
have different servers for different call areas/prefixes.
I think Karl's email database would be a good place to start. Of
course we would need Karl's permission to us it. Karl's would
it be ok to use your email database for a lookup server to eqsls?
The problem with this is a spammer could fairly quickly download the
complete database unless countermeasures are taken. There is some
simple ones that will slow down the spammers such as:
1. velocity checks. ie: You can also get X email addresses
per min, hour, day, etc.
2. You have to be in the database to get data out. This would go
along with 1.
If it a problem that is more complex ways to derail spammers. Once
digital signatures are used to validate eqsls these servers could just
forward a eqsl to the correct log server.
Anyone interested in working a system like this?

Hi there !
OM Karl OE500-674 have collected almost 60,000 E-mail addresses which can
be downloaded as text files from his WEB page at
http://members.EUnet.at/hagenbu/ftp.htm
With Karl's kind permission I converted that data into MS Access database
and made available for online search at http://www.t93y.com/english
We need your input to keep this database updated. If your E-mail address
wrong or not listed please fill the form at

Many thanks.
