[DX] YA5T/PW0T QSL Cards

[Steven Wheatley KU9C]

An update on things at the KU9C incoming QSL pile!

YA5T....I pushed out a bunch of the cards in the last month, and have =
run out of cards (MY FAULT, I didn't watch the box empty close enough!). =
 I"ve re-ordered, and have labels printed for most everything I have =
logs for in house.  I expect that these will be sent out in June, along =
with any others that I can answer.=20

If you have requested YA since March, there is a good chance it's in =
with the PW0T cards.  With the PW0T and YA5T activities in the last few =
months, I've had at times in excess of 10,000 envelopes UNOPENED =
here....I'm working through the pile, but please be patient with this =
process.  I take great pains to carefully deal with the incoming =
process, as the donations must be credited to the appropriate call =
sign...and thankfully, there have been several of those!

I should have a PW0T qsl card arrival date in the next week or so. I =
expect to be shipping these cards in June....I'll have a final date in =
the next week.  I have a lot of cards ready to roll...so when the cards =
arrive, many should go out relatively quickly.  I want to clean this =
mess up just as bad as you want to get your card.

Many of you have requested other cards that I manage.  They're worked as =
often as there are enough to work the logs, except for the rarer ones, =
which I try to touch once a month minimum.

One note...I've seen several comments on the various reflectors on =
'WHERE ARE MY CARDS'.  Perhaps not too surprising, many of the calls, =
after a bit of looking, are folks that have requested several of the =
cards I manage at one time in one envelope with one SASE.  Some general =
observations:

-each call sign, depending on what call it is, based on my process, can =
take a month or two to process...sometimes less, sometimes more.  If you =
send a number of cards and simply a SASE, I'm not going to change my =
process to speed your cards, as you are indirectly telling me that you =
are not in a big hurry.

-if ONE of the cards does not have logs or cards, your cards won't come =
till I get the logs.  Thus, if you've requested YA5T and PW0T....even =
though I can answer the YA5T, I must wait for the PW0T.

Just a side note, I had one comment saying that a bureau card was sent =
to me 6 months ago and not received yet.  Bureaus do not work that =
fast...even if your card gets to me fast.  I process bureau cards no =
more than once a year, and with the current pile of DIRECT cards, bureau =
cards will take a bit of a back seat.

If you REALLY NEED SOMETHING, feel free to email...but please don't =
email asking about where your PW0T card ...if you've read this far, you =
have your answer.  I get 25-50 emails a day just on that subject, so =
hopefully this puts it to bed for a bit.
