[DX] QSL requests via KU9C

[Steven Wheatley KU9C]

Folks,

In an effort to serve you better as a QSL manager, I am requesting that, going forward, that when you request a QSL via KU9C, please observe the following with DIRECT qsl card requests:

IF you are in a hurry to get your card back, send ONLY one call per envelope.  I manage over 100 calls, PLEASE do not send more than one call IF you are in a hurry.

If you are in a hurry to get your card back, please do not request QSL cards for stations (primarily BQ9P) for which I carry multiple operation dates).  This is essentially the same as asking for multiple call signs in my process.

I am willing to accept multiple calls per envelope, but please understand that this will likely delay your card.  If you send, for example, PW0T and YA5T, which many have, do not expect to see your card back in the same time frame that others that sent ONLY one of those calls.  Thus, when you read the reflector, and someone says "I received PW0T", yours will be delayed.

Note that I will accept bureau cards, bureau requests via email, and QSLs sent direct without SASE will be replied via bureau.  I am currently close to a year behind in answering these cards....so be very patient.

I regret asking for this help from you, but in light of several very impatient folks, some who have taken to asking the folks I manage first rather than emailing me to see status, I've decided to put these requests into place to help YOU in getting your card.  In the last few weeks, I've had over 300 requests to find the status of ones card.  OVER 80% of these requests were delayed due to the fact that multiple calls were requested.  The time I spend just researching this takes time away from putting stuff in the mailbox.

Status:  I am attempting to catch up with YA5T, and a majority of cards for QSOs before June have been answered.  PW0T cards, I've currently mailed over 10,000 QSL cards, and roughly 4500 envelopes.  At one point there was some 20,000 plus envelopes at my QTH, so you can see how the progress is going.

BQ9P has been ordered, and I expect that these cards will go out in September, although I do have a few weeks of vacation coming up...I will do my best.
