Hi Robert,=0D
Steve asked us to write him personally and not "criticize" him in=0D
public. On =0D
January 4th I sent him this e-mail:=0D
=0D
Hi Steve,=0D
You had previously mentioned that you planned to have all the PW0T=0D
direct qsl =0D
cards out by the end of the year. Guess that didn't happen. Can you give=0D
me =0D
some idea when I might expect my PW0T qsl cards -- particularly the RTTY=0D
=0D
contacts?=0D
Regards and have a Happy New Year,=0D
Joe, K0JN=0D
=0D
I have not received a reply. I guess it's easier to ignore people if=0D
your =0D
questions are not put out over the net.=0D
=0D
What is really troubling is what is put out. Last August 14th Steve gave=0D
this =0D
status report:=0D
Status: I am attempting to catch up with YA5T, and a majority of cards=0D
for =0D
QSOs before June have been answered. PW0T cards, I've currently mailed=0D
over =0D
10,000 QSL cards, and roughly 4500 envelopes. At one point there was=0D
some =0D
20,000 plus envelopes at my QTH, so you can see how the progress is=0D
going.=0D
=0D
If you assume he handles 200-300 envelopes a day, as he keeps saying,=0D
and he =0D
still had 20,000 envelopes on August 14th and averaged just 250 per day=0D
he =0D
would have done 36,500 envelopes since August 14 almost double the total=0D
he =0D
had on hand before then. Yet there are still a lot of us who sent SASE's=0D
back =0D
in March (for PW0T only) that are still waiting for cards.=0D
=0D
My complaint isn't that he's slow. It's that you can't get a straight=0D
answer =0D
out of the guy. I think the amateur radio community deserves at least=0D
that =0D
much--even it they don't get their cards in a timely manner.=0D
=0D
=2E...And Steve, before you reply that I'd don't know what's involved wit=
h =0D
handling a big dxpedition qsling, let me remind you that Bill, AK0A;=0D
Alasn, =0D
KI7WO and myself handled all the envelopes we received for the TI9M=0D
operation =0D
(16,200 envelopes) in twelve days after getting the qsl cards from the =0D
printers, including sending you your cards for the 12 and 15 meter=0D
contacts. =0D
=0D
So Steve, how about giving those of us still waiting some straight=0D
answers =0D
for a change?=0D
We're entitled to they.=0D
Respectfully.=0D
