[DX] Re: [DX-NEWS] QSL requests via KU9C

Ron, good point, basically, think of getting 200 - 300 pieces of mail each day, how would you find it easier to work with.  If you are comfortable putting calls on envelopes, the call is certainly a nice thing (probably best on the back flap to avoid problems with the postal service scan machines).  

Again, I hate to do this, but it's becoming clear that I need to take certain measures to help folks get their cards in a timeframe that they want to receive them!

>> 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.
