[Dx-qsl] 1A4A bad experience

Sun Jul 15 14:38:01 EDT 2007

Hi, let me share my negative experience described below.
Last February I sent my direct request (incl. SAE and US$) to the QSL manager of 1A4A. I also enclosed the PayPal confirmation sheet of sending a small donation.
Today I received my QSL with an ugly handwriting on the back side saying "NOT IN LOG" and no more details. I was mailed to me not in my SAE. 
Of course, all my 3 qso's are in the on-line log. I re-checked all QSO details and they were printed correctly on my card. 
They have never confirmed that my donation was received as it was promised so on their www site as I remember. Moreover, I am member one of the sponsoring ham clubs (MDXC).
I mail more than 50 direct requests a year but I have never experienced so ignorant management before. After all my efforts in obtaining the QSL I would have expected more explanation why I can't get it. (I am quite sure all QSOs were OK, anyway). 
Now, I am not even convinced my donation was forwarded to the right place.
