[OKDXA] Coin of the DX Realm?

Mon, 6 Jan 2003 11:42:31 -0600

Kim,

Good deal on upgrading to DXBase 2003.  I use DX4WIN and really like it.  As
for IRC's I don't use them except for countries where sending $$ is illegal
like India.  I usually send a buck or two depending on the country.  For
example a buck won't pay the postage from Germany to U.S.

I don't think I would subscribe to the GO List.  I use
http://www.qsl.net/pathfinder/WebClient/.  If you can't find it there, I
dare say, you won't find it.

For return envelopes I order them from: William J. Plum, 12 Glenn Road,
Flemington, NJ 08822-3322 or e-mail:  [email protected]  These are the European
size air mail envelopes.

I send a lot of my new band countries through the WF5E QSL Service.  Check
out Les' web site at:  http://www.qsl.net/wf5e/

Hope some of this helps.

Coy

Subject: [OKDXA] Coin of the DX Realm?

After several years of relative inactivity, I'm beginning to see my way to
some DXing again.  In the process, I've upgraded to a nice logging program,
DXBase 2003, from my old DOS-based DXLog.  DXBase has lots of nice
features, many of which I have not year uncovered.

Using DXBase, I was going over my past two years of operating and found
that there are about 80 QSLs that I need to send out.  Most are for new
band-countries, but a few are for completely new countries.  When I was
previously active, IRCs were the coin of the DX Realm for direct QSLs.  Are
they still? If not, what is?

Also, years ago, I subscribed to the GO List, back when it was on paper.
Shortly before I moved, it went to a software format that I couldn't use on
my non-widows DOS box, so I let the subscription lapse.  How do you guys
get QSL info now?  Do any of you use the GOlist? Is it worth the
subscription price?

Many thanks for the updates!
