Procedure and Rules for loading QSL scans to the RDA Auto Credit Server.
---
1. How to load paper QSLs:
- According to the RDA Diploma Rules, QSO are counted starting from June 12, 1991
- Priority is considered to be the RDA number that is either printed or handwritten on the QSL, the exception being the RDA numbers previously removed from the list, but later included in it again. Be sure to check the RDA number with the current RDA list:
List of RDA districts
- it is forbidden to independently add the RDA number. The QSL on which the QSO data are written in a different handwriting or in other ink go through additional checks.
- if there is no RDA number on the QSL, check it against the RDA base:
RDA Callsign Base
The RDA number and date must be exactly the same as the base.
- If several QSOs with different RDA numbers are specified on the same QSL, then such a QSL must be loaded several times, each time indicating the RDA number required for the offset.
- For two-side QSLs where the information is on both sides of the QSL both sides of the card must be loaded
- QSL scan quality must be sufficient to read all QSO data; in case of poor quality the scan will be rejected with the wording “No image”
- the QSL scan must match the original QSL completely, no cropped edges is allowed, all QSO data and other information on the QSL must be completely legible

2. How to load the LoTW scans
- You must load your scan from the Details tab
- the data on the RDA number are missing on the LoTW server, so it must be independently determined from the RDA base:
RDA Callsign Base
the RDA number and date must match the ones in the base.
- If two or more RDA areas are specified in the database on this date, such a scan cannot be accepted for credit and will be rejected.
- If information in the RDA database is completely missing for this callsign, then such a scan is also not accepted for credit

3. Procedure for loading the Hamlog scans
- on the site, the Hamlog scans are located in the "Received HQSL" tab
- the prerequisite: time must be specified in the Time (UTC) column; if “no match“ is stated, such a scan is rejected
- the RDA number must be specified in the lower right corner of the scan, for example, TB-02. This is a prerequisite; scans without the RDA number or incorrectly specified (TB02, TB 02, TB2) will be rejected
- HQSL with two or more RDA numbers are not counted.
