[Dx-qsl] Never give up!

[Buzz Jehle]

Speaking from experience, sometimes you need a duplicate QSL.  I lost  
over 1000 QSLs to Hurricane Ike in September and I have sent for a few  
key replacements.  When I moved to Texas years ago, the movers lost a  
whole box including my original Heard Island QSL from the 60s and  
almost all my QSLs from several DX locations.  Those I wrote off, but  
sometimes you need a replacement because of acts of god, and I for one  
appreciate all the help I got including a couple of recent QSLs from  
the 70s!  Hurricanes, floods, brush fires, etc. do not care how old  
the logs are!

If they wait more than 10 years, I would assume they didnt want the card
that bad. I have 15 different logs that will soon go away. They were
from the 70's and 80's.
