[DX] Incoming QSL bureau experiences

[Tony Martin]

I realize everyone will have a different experience, but I
must say the 1X1 4th call area bureau is excellent.  Unlike
the 2x1 4th call area bureau, we know our sorters, and in
many cases, personally and feel free to communicate with
them, if necessary.  I am 100% satisfied...thanks in a large
part to N4ZC, Roger and all of the sorters..especially 
W4FC!

I hope your service improves to your satisfaction.  If not,
get a W4 N4 K4 call and put a smile on your face.

Continued Good DXing...hope you reach the Big Gun DXer status
soon...if you do, let us know how you did it and how it feels!

Tony, W4FOA
