[DXBase] SWL Labels

[Joseph Glockner]

Peter,

This is Joe WA6AXE .. since I was the person who made up that
label file that you are speaking of - and since that label file
is really not good for this scenario -- I will "separately" email
you a 8161 Swl QSL label file that will be OK for you to use ...

I am sending this email to both yourself and the reflector. But,
can not attach anything (reflector) - so another email will be coming
to you only at this time ..

If anyone else wants the SAME SWL label file - just pse send me
an email..
