>If you get a swl request, use the following to answer the request

>In the report block, your card usually says 'confirming qso with' or something.  I scratch that out appropriately to read
>'confirming swl report of'
>
>where you would put the call sign of the ham you worked, put the SWL number, or whatever information you have.  SOme do not have a SWL number, their name is usually sufficient.
>
>Fill out the remainder of the card as you would the QSO, except the RST block...I usually put a 'X' thru that area.
>
>and then return the card.

>I get a lot of SWL cards...and I know many folks just toss them.  Take the time to fill them out!  I remember being in a ham shack in SIngapore, and on the wall was a SWL card I had filled out back in 1985....proudly displayed....some 13 years later...they mean as much to the SWL as the cards you receive.
