[Dxbase] GlobalQSL service - do you use it? Joe wa6axe

[RICHARD SOLOMON]

I do wish these Web sites (eg: GlobalQSL) were a bit clearer on the 
costs involved in the process. For example, on the "Getting Started" 
page, there is no mention of cost.

I have a short attention span and will not waste my time chasing down
information that should be clearly spelled out up front.

They are not the only ones, there are many other web sites like this.
