The following was extracted from the QRZ.com TO2FH dxpedition page
concerning how to obtain their QSL card:
'.......The first one is a double colorful QSL with many pictures taken
during the dx-pedition and the full team. If you wish to order it,
you should choose the first Paypal option and we demand a minimum
credit of US$ 7.00. The second one is a single QSL with a colorful side
and a
black/white opposite side and you should choose the second Paypal
option and we demand a fixed credit of US$ 2.00. If you love dx-peditions,
help us to continue planning new dx-peditions to interesting places.
Any donation is highly regarded! Bear in mind that costs of a
dx-pedition like this
one are really high and a tiny donation will be a big
support...................'"
My first reaction after reading the second and third lines was that the
word "demand" was somewhat forceful and overbearing. However, after some
consideration I came to the conclusion that the writer was probably
taught that the word is not as vitriolic as I perceived it. The bottom
line::
"Hey Murray don't jump to conclusions especially in the world of DX".
