[Dx-qsl] VR2BG

[Pat Rose]

Steve is absolutely right!!!
I may have waited for a while, but I got a card back for every one I sent to
Brett. (Seems I saw this same kind of exchange about 4 or 5 years ago).
Cool it, guys.  Patience is a virtue.
Pat, W5OZI

> I just want to add a personal touch to what Ron and Joe have said.  I've
personally met Brett on many occasions when I traveled to Hong Kong in the
80's and 90's on business.  I've carried some signifcant equipment to him to
help him build up his QTH.  I can personally tell you he's a heckuva
guy....and a great contester who also happens to be a hard working guy.  The
first comment is my read on his character, and the very harsh negative
comments here are not, in my opinion, warranted.  The second comment should
tell you he deals with a LOT of QSLs and he generates a LOT of QSOs.  The
third comment should tell you that he has a life outside of radio, and last
few times we communicated via email, I know it's very busy for him on the
employment front.  Plenty of folks have gotten cards from Brett...so if
you've not, you might look in the mirror to see what you've done
differently...and perhaps caused the problem yourself.  It may be just a
issue of time...I'd refer you to Ron's comments.   But resist taking a shot
at Brett.....it's not warranted.
