[Dx-qsl] [CDXC] LoTW

Thu Nov 18 13:37:00 EST 2010

Ref AC7DX's comments concerning payment for a LOTW confirmation. Ron is 
absolutely correct. It is patently wrong
to charge for that confirmation if it does not include a return QSL 
card. The latter is understandable considering postages,
etc.
In view of the various comments, where does the ARRL DX Committee stand 
on this, as well as the DXCC Desk and
the numerous editors of DX columns, Emails and blogs? The silent 
majority awaits your views.
