[Dx-qsl] K1B: Mission Accomplished

Fri Jul 12 16:16:00 2002

 A donation is something you give voluntarily with no expectation
 of return.
 I may donate to Cancer Research, Leukemia Research, or to
 the Cats Protection League, because I approve of what they
 are doing.
 I may donate to a DX foundation, or a DXpedition, for the same
 reason.
 But I am not going to donate to a QSL Manager just to jump my
 place in the queue for a QSL card. That may be the privilige of the
 rich in a corrupt world.

 We already have some managers asking for two IRCs when they only
 need one. Next thing will we will have to pay 5ドル a time for a card 
from
 an expedition set up for the glorification of the participants.
 Remember when Don Miller got into trouble for "not hearing" the
 calls of guys who had not donated?
 You work a station, you are entitled to a QSL if you want one. No
 priority treatment please. The point about a donation is that is not
 compulsory. It is not relevant to QSL'ing.
