[Dx-qsl] It Never Ends

[Rod Elliott]

My direct QSL applications always include a nested s.a.e. and enough 
IRCs to pay the return postage. I also include one extra IRC as a 
small "thank-you" for the manager. Hopefully, this helps him cover 
part of the cost for those who don't send enough postage.

The good news... I get quick returns, and often the extra IRC comes back too.

The downside... sometimes the return also incudes several QSLs for 
other VE hams, along with a plea to forward them. Well, I don't mind 
doing that, mostly out of sympathy for the poor manager, and (perhaps 
misplaced) optimism about his honesty.

What really bugs me, though, is that after I've spent time, stamps 
and envelopes to forward to my compatriots, I hardly ever get a 
"thank you" e-mail or letter from them. Clearly, ignorance begins at home!

Non Illegitemos Corundum!
