One other comment....$5 is not a 'small donation'....something else I have a lot of detail on.

>Folks, do the math.
>
>I think the VP6DI team made 80K qsos.  I don't know how many unique calls they have, but lets assume that generated 20,000 envelopes to Garth.
>
>You have to OPEN 20K envelopes, deal with the QSO confirmation, put the cards in the envelopes, put postage, stuffers, etc. in the envelope and post them.
>
>I think someone had an analysis on a web site on this.  Lets say 2 minutes per envelope.  THAT IS VERY agressive.  Try doing it yourself, or come visit me.....I'll let you try for a few minutes.
>
>That's 30 envelopes per hour.  Thats 240 in an 8 hour day.  That's 1680 a week.  and on and on and on.
>
>ANyone want a full time job as a QSL manager?  Thats would it would take to have a chance to have them all posted by now.  I'm not aware of any one doing this as a full time job.

>It's going to take some time.

>I'm in a similar situation with PW0T..although I probably haven't gotten the demand that an all time new one did.  But I have YA5T on top of that, along with the others.  I know, I read the clusters, where it reported that KU9C has taken on too much, and is too slow.  Thankfully, most folks respect the work that QSL managers do...and have some patience.

>PATIENCE folks.......at some point, the word will go out that all have been processed.  THEN START SWEATING...but not before.
