[Dx-qsl] 5A7A Info and Help

Mon Feb 5 10:09:02 EST 2007

When I read the original question I was rather incredulous at the 
question.  While I have been DXing for many years, it would seem rather 
difficult to expect a dxpedition to turn cards around that fast.  Even 
individuals often take longer than that length of time.  While Peter might 
not have been as tactful as he could have been, I do think that any number 
of the people on the reflector could have made a similar comment.  There 
are some great booklets and papers around on QSLing.  Maybe Dave will 
choose to leave this august group.  I hope that he will seek out one or 
more of these booklets and learn how the QSL card game really works.  Some 
cards I have received in the last 3-4 yrs. have taken 10-15 yrs to get 
here.  Buro cards hardly ever arrive in less than a year. Even the truly 
great managers (KU9C, W3HNK, EA7FTR to mention a few) take several months 
on the more active hams they manage.  VE3XN was amazing on the recent ZL8R 
in the turnaround time. 

But I would say in my opinion,  Dave's  skin might be a bit thin.  We all 
need to learn and perhaps Dave's lesson was a bit tougher than the 5A7A 
pileups were to get thru. Just one man's opinion, not that it is worth any 
more than any one else's.

Dear group.  My apologies to the group for asking this simple question.  I 
may not be the most experienced dx'er and I may not be the smartest when 
it comes to dx operations, but I thought that was the purpose of this 
reflector, to learn from others and ask questions.  Mr. Penta seems to 
feel differently, so to him and the rest of you whom I may have insulted 
by my question, I apologize.

Please unsubscribe me from the reflector.
