[Dx-qsl] Never give up!

Thu Jan 29 15:37:11 EST 2009

Logs should never be closed...whats the big problem in having them stored in 
a box? I cried and screamed to keep the all time Malpleo Logs open after the 
manager went SK...nobody listened and I read all the time of people wanting 
a qsl..for different reasons. Ron, if you don't want them donate them to 
somebody who will take care of them, or just put them on LoTW and forget 
about them..at least they will be in safe "electronic" hands. If somebody 
wants a qsl tell them to go through lotw.
