[Dx-qsl] A73A

[Ken Scheper]

I can certainly see where EA7FTR is coming from.  Although I'm not sure 
about the $$$ situation (that seems a bit squirrely), I can certainly 
understand the one call per envelope policy.  Although I didn't do that with 
Dave Heil's many operations, I should have.  I was receiving QSL/QSO 
requests for 2,3, or even 4 operations sometimes in one envelope.  Some 
times there were donations, many generous, so I felt they understood what I 
was up against.  I can't even understand or perceive the massive operations 
of Joe (W3HNK), and Bob (N2OO).

I processed them in single call, double call, then multi call order, not 
counting multiple QSO's on each card.  I had to refile my processed cards 
again after the first round, then second round, etc... the OQSL process is 
soooo cool, that I wish it were there when I was managing.  This did cause a 
delay sometimes, ESPECIALLY when they QSL'd a very new QSO that I didn't 
have logs for yet, along with those that did.  Just think of the variables 
in this situation!  (And it DOES happen !)

Anyway, only my 2 cents worth, and hats off to all who handle the manager 
calling everywhere.

73 all
