Don't know what to tell you about the buro concerns. My guess would be that
the amateurs in questions where members or contributors at the time they
sent you the cards but no longer are so by the time you replied. It
happens. There will always be those who choose not to participate in the
bureau system for whatever reasons, it is simply one of those facts of life
you have to deal with.
It may take years for the 1A0 cards to travel from the I bureau to the N7
bureau. When they say that cards are shipped the cheapest way possible,
they ain't kiddin... surely you've heard of that "slow boat to China" and
other points East & West? Patience, grasshopper!

When asked "If you had been in President Clinton's place, would you have
resigned?",
Republican Member of the House of Representatives Dick Armey replied:
"If I were in the President's place, I would not have gotten a chance to
resign. I would be laying in a pool of my own blood, hearing Mrs. Armey
standing over me saying, "How do I reload this damn thing?"

Subject: [Dx-qsl] QRZ and Buckmaster
For some reason tonight, I can not get into either QRZ or Buckmaster URL
pages I have used for quite some time, with both coming up saying the URL is
invalid. Im trying to find out what the real info is for TR8CA, worked 20
June 2000. I have, at different times, written down here that it was VIA
K9ICC,F6CBC, F6BOL and with an address of 18 Rue des ulnes, 81600 Rivieres ,
France (apparently one of the managers I have tried.
Just got the card back again, this time from the buro with "Sorry Country
without Bureau". Apparently someone cant read too well as it is distinctly
marked via F6BCL.
Also in this buro package, which arrived today, was a card sent to IT9AMZ,
marked return to sender, This card cannot be delivered by ARI QSO Bureau -
Italy,,, and it was in response of a card received from that station, via
the
buro. OH WELL-
 A third received back was from OD5/OK1MN marked "not use our QSL
service"
I just love DXers who dont use their own buro for incoming cards- and yes I
know they often have to belong to their nantional organization to qualify.
I
do too, Luckly none of these are my only contact/cards with subject
countries
and are gonna go into the bit bucket here if I dont find a buro or manager
for them.
Received a package of about 75 cards today Nothing giving me a new country
confirmed (still need 7) and that 1A0KM the manager has been promising me
via
the buro still isnt here after 2 years of promising me it was coming. I
have
sent for 5 contacts with him, 3 different times direct- with SASE and ,ドル and
3 times via the buro. Four emails have been sent in the past year and once
he responded that if he received mine, he has sent me one. Then upon the
next email, he said it had been sent via the buro, and the next email reply
said the same thing. The last email I sent last month after Italian cards
came, has gone unanswered. This is also the same station I worked in 1998,
so no joy there. 1A0SOV was worked in 1996, with same results in
collecting
a card. These guys have great fun working the stations, too bad they dont
bother to follow up on problems like this.
