[Dx-qsl] SOME REASONS FOR QSL CARD DELAYS

Sun Nov 24 21:30:01 2002

John, you have hit the nail right on the head, and thanks for bringing this up to the group...

I get 40-60 emails a day lately...and while I reply, I'm finding that I need to do it in a very short message.  

I particularly like your comment on 'managers react to the situation they are given.  That is SO true.  One particular situation I've found, as I handle over 100 calls, is the folks that tned to bundle several calls in one envelope, and then wonder why their card isn't in the first batch or two mailed out.

I think it's safe to say that most managers will get the card back to you, and most of us know those managers and DX statiosn that do not respond or have special 'requirements'.  I think it's fair to say that if you have not received your card, there is a reason, and it's highly unlikely that it is lost in the mail.  Most likely it's in the pile ot do, and if it's delayed, its likely due to something the requestor did, which made the manager work a bit harder.
