[Dx-qsl] VE3HO QSLing policy

Sat Feb 1 16:37:02 2003

Egbert-  Thanks for the "word" and the nice information that VE3HO is there
to teach us the proper way to QSL.  I tell you my friend, not all Canadian
hams use those practices.  In fact, if there are any more of them, I would
be most surprised. The Canadian ham stations I have known and with whom I
have QSL'd are more interested in getting QSL's to the hams they work rather
than VE3HO's practice of teaching the rest of us the "proper" way to QSL!!!
I hope this isn't a hint of a "commercial" operation?  Good luck and 73-
Lee  WA7OBH
