[QSL-Managers] Double Card Requests

Fri, 25 Jan 2002 11:11:48 -0500

As far as I am concerned, E-QSL doesn't exist until it can be used for
awards. I think that the LOTW will be the only true verification method done
electronically. My opinion only. But I really do not know what I will do
with LOTW. Right now, my personal preference is to not share a log
electronically, period. I strongly prefer the standard old QSL CARD and will
probably be quite stubborn about giving in to anything electronic at all.
As for duplicate QSL requests, I personally do NOT keep track of them. It
just isn't worth the extra time and effort for me. I answer cards as they
are received. I am sure that I get many requests via the bureau that are
duplicated via direct. I usually over-order QSL cards when they are ordered
in the first place so I usually have plenty. In the off-chance that I run
out, then I decide based on the demand for an old operation whether to
reprint or to just design a basic card in my publishing program and print
them myself. In all cases, I personally verify all QSO's with my rubber
stamp across the label/card.
