HI all,


Just wanted to thank Joe publicly for this very useful report.

Now using globalQSL is as easy as printing locally and nearly as well
integrated.

My workflow is now as follows 

mark the QSO's you want to QSL as labels as normal 
run Joe's report 
sent the saved report to GlobalQSL

print the labels as a preview in dxbase, this allows you to get DXbase
to set the QSL-sent date correctly, do this after the uploaded file has
been accepted.
Clear the labels (as you would following a successful print run)

Joe's report even ensures that the ADIF QSL_via is set correctly per the
ADIF version 2 standard as required by GlobalQSL to correctly route QSL
cards that have to go via a manager.

The fact that an external report written by a customer allows for near
perfect integration with the GlobalQSL service even though GlobalQSL did
not exist when DXB2007 was being written shows the true advantages and
power of Dxbase.

I can now use GlobalQSL for all my buero cards. 
At $88 per thousand for full color 2 sides, printed and delivered to the
target QSL bueros this is a great service for anyone who does much
QSLing, especially for us Europeans with expensive postage and a weak US
$ compared to the Euro.
