[Dx-qsl] DXpeditions, donations and QSL's

Tue Sep 15 12:51:58 EDT 2009

I belong to a large DX club in Northern Illinois. We frequently make 
substantial donations to major DXpeditions. A few years ago, we made a 
donation to a very important DXpedition. It was an all-time brand new 
DXCC entity, and the trip was so difficult that it took two attempts to 
actually get to the island. When the QSLs came out, we were disappointed 
to find that our club wasn't mentioned as a donor on the QSL. This in 
spite of the fact that two of the DXpedition operators were members of 
our club. Obviously this was an unintentional oversight, but it points 
out the fact that in spite of everyone's best intentions and efforts, 
sometimes sh*t happens because we are all only human and therefore 
imperfect.
