Folks,

In an effort to serve you better as a QSL manager, I am requesting that, going 
forward, that when you request a QSL via KU9C, please observe the following 
with DIRECT qsl card requests:

IF you are in a hurry to get your card back, send ONLY one call per envelope. 
I manage over 100 calls, PLEASE do not send more than one call IF you are in a 
hurry.

If you are in a hurry to get your card back, please do not request QSL cards 
for stations (primarily BQ9P) for which I carry multiple operation dates). 
This is essentially the same as asking for multiple call signs in my process.

I am willing to accept multiple calls per envelope, but please understand that 
this will likely delay your card.  If you send, for example, PW0T and YA5T, 
which many have, do not expect to see your card back in the same time frame 
that others that sent ONLY one of those calls.  Thus, when you read the 
reflector, and someone says "I received PW0T", yours will be delayed.

Note that I will accept bureau cards, bureau requests via email, and QSLs sent 
direct without SASE will be replied via bureau.  I am currently close to a year 
behind in answering these cards....so be very patient.

I regret asking for this help from you, but in light of several very impatient 
folks, some who have taken to asking the folks I manage first rather than 
emailing me to see status, I've decided to put these requests into place to 
help YOU in getting your card.  In the last few weeks, I've had over 300 
requests to find the status of ones card.  OVER 80% of these requests were 
delayed due to the fact that multiple calls were requested.  The time I spend 
just researching this takes time away from putting stuff in the mailbox.

Status:  I am attempting to catch up with YA5T, and a majority of cards for 
QSOs before June have been answered.  PW0T cards, I've currently mailed over 
10,000 QSL cards, and roughly 4500 envelopes.  At one point there was some 
20,000 plus envelopes at my QTH, so you can see how the progress is going.

BQ9P has been ordered, and I expect that these cards will go out in September, 
although I do have a few weeks of vacation coming up...I will do my best.
