Fwd: RE: [Dx-qsl] OZ7C Qsl manager database

Sun Jun 9 13:01:02 2002

Here's the latest information on the Pathfinder dilemma with the OZ7C
QSL database for the information of all dxers!  I received a huge
response from those who, like myself, had not been able to access
the OZ7C database via Pathfinder in the last several months.  I think
Dave gives a very specific and detailed answer to my question! So
maybe we can have this situation resolved fairly soon!  Hope this is
helpful to the many of you who find Pathfinder and OZ7C information
very helpful!  De Pat, W4NW
