[Dx-qsl] DX-QSL--- FM / KL7WA

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

Already I'm getting private flames on this.  Including one telling me to
MYOFB.

I simply don't believe that THIS forum, which is SUPPOSED to concentrate on
QSL'ing issues, is the proper place to debate the propriety of how certain
people are obtaining certain calls -- specifically, beyond whether or not
they keep their addresses up to date.

That, however, is merely my opinion as a member of this group.  Do as you
wish.

Sheesh.

Bill,

Here's a "best guess" as to what happened:

Assuming that they are the same person, UT5UGR passed his FCC exams, and
used that PO Box as his Official Mailing Address at some point in the
process of him obtaining KL7WA.

So, why did the mail get returned?  Maybe the person who "owns" the box
doesn't wish to forward his mail any longer.  Maybe the rental on the box
went unpaid, and it was eventually closed -- and all mail returned.

If and when the FCC has to send him official correspondence, and it is
returned, they may start proceedings to revoke his license for being in
violation of applicable Part 97 rules.  (Which will be his problem)

This sounds a great deal like the kvetching that KH2D used to do (back when
he was still on Guam, before he moved to Florida) about many JA hams who
used PO Boxes or other addresses (such as KG6DX's) on Guam & Saipan to
obtain 2x1 call signs from those two territories.

It's been a long standing concern or problem.  But, with all due respect to
everyone on THIS list, this reflector may not be the appropriate place to
further discuss the matter.

73, ron w3wn

Can   someone  shed  some  light on  this.
          KL7WA  has an address (  shown on the FCC  database ) to be in
Buffalo, N.Y.
       Yet  mail  sent to that P.O.,  Box  address is  returned  .

      Recently appeared in  QRZ.com    qsl  to  UT5UGR...  who
coincidentally  is  the same
         person ..      Smells  of  something  wrong   If  this  station
did   something  wrong,  why  should the  FCC  contact  him  in  another
country to  let  him  know ??
                                                                 ...........
