[Dx-qsl] K1B: Mission Accomplished

[AQuest1263@aol.com]

       A donation is something you give voluntarily with no expectation
       of return.

       I may donate to Cancer Research, Leukemia Research, or to
       the Cats Protection League, because I approve of what they
       are doing.

       I may donate to a DX foundation, or a DXpedition, for the same
       reason.

       But I am not going to donate to a QSL Manager just to jump my
       place in the queue for a QSL card. That may be the privilige of the
       rich in a corrupt world.
       
       We already have some managers asking for two IRCs when they only
       need one. Next thing will we will have to pay $5 a time for a card 
from
       an expedition set up for the glorification of the  participants.

       Remember when Don Miller got into trouble for "not hearing" the
       calls of guys who had not donated?

       You work a station, you are entitled to a QSL if you want one. No
       priority treatment please. The point about a donation is that is not
       compulsory. It is not relevant to QSL'ing.
