[Dx-qsl] Incoming Bueau

Thu Jan 2 05:50:01 2003

I can respond to one part of this message.  I sort for the 5th Area Incoming Bureau, and I do not get paid.  So far as I know the only paid personnel in the entire ARRL Bureau system are Martin Cook, N1OFC, and his assistant.  Both work for the ARRL in Newington.
