Ron, I know you're busy with a lot of things, but if you (or anyone else for
that matter) ever get a chance to write a few words on how to properly QSL,
I guarantee that I'll run them in the next issue of my club's newsletter...
and I'm sure a lot of other DX'er's/newsletter editor's will too.
73, ron wn3vaw

>>I find many do not know how to properly qsl or for that fact they are
not even able to properly nest their return envelope so it doesnt get
sliced when the main envelope is opened.
Crappy printed cards that take 2 days to find their call, no return
postage and envelope, wrong info etc etc. or "Ya!, I worked them 10
years ago, but I dont remember what day or mode....would you look
through the 50,000 contacts you have in a handwritten log from that
dxpedition?"
