With Echolink using "Skin Effect".
With the Echolink app loaded on my phone, a RF signal skinned it's way to the cell tower and from there, by FM (fuggin' Magic) the signaled skinned it's way thru space to the W2IBC repeater and Tony and I had a brief exchange.
Does this count as a contact for eQSL.cc and LoTW?

I concur, I don't think so.

....Naw, so you guys are telling me that the RF link from my phone, handed off to the Cloud from the cell tower; switched and routed to Tony and his 440 machine doesn't count for sumthin?
I'm heart broken.
It's all RF.

I used to confirm my Echolink contacts on eQSL - I figured a virtual QSO deserved a virtual QSL card, but too many people take eQSL seriously...
Hrm. So Tony's link is back up and stuff and stuff?
A few of us used it a ways back.
Was fun. Islander Party.

Sure it does. As long as you both upload the contact to the appropriate system.
It won't qualify under WAS or DXCC rules, but that wasn't your question.

Can't speak to LoTW, but eQSL doesn't have an entry for Echolink. At least not directly. The closest choices I could find in the system are DIGITALVOICE and VOI (which I assume is short for VOIP).
That's true for both systems, AFAIK.It won't qualify under WAS or DXCC rules, but that wasn't your question.
