[Dx-qsl] Incoming QSL bureau experiences

Tue Jul 23 15:58:04 2002

I am wondering what kind of experiences people have
with their incoming QSL bureau. Back in the 1980s our
QSL bureau was managed by a very efficient club. I
got envelopes every month, and they had it to the
point where I knew what day each month it would arrive
on. This was pure QSL heaven.
Well a different DX club took over QSL
responsibilities, and my experiences changed. Now I
see 2, maybe 3 envelopes a year. I think my last one
came last october or november. I will get 5-6 oz of
cards at a time, though. I am working plenty of DX,
so the time between shipments is not due to lack of
QSLs coming in. I keep them supplied with address
labels and money for stamps.
I understand that QSL bureaus are manned by
volunteers, and I greatly appreciate the work they do.
 I am just curious as to why service would change so
drastically. How often do others get shippments from
the bureau? Is 2 a year normal? At one point I
considered changing my call trying to get back to the
original good service I had. What call districts seem
to have the best service?
