[QSL-Managers] being a sneak

Fri, 18 Apr 2003 02:34:19 -0400

Derek,
A tough one... I hate (as a QSL manager) to play detective. I normally just
crank out the cards as long as they are in the log. But don't know what I
would do in this case. I had a similar situation many years ago. I was in
Brunei I think... started working a whole bunch of YU's all with the same
sig, same fist... they just kept on coming... it was weird. And they ALL
sent for cards... I think all written in the same handwriting... all
different cards... but all in the same envelope. They all got cards as they
COULD have been at a club station or something. I certainly couldn't prove
anything so not for me to worry.
Your situation is a little bit different.
Let's see........ I guess I would say - just send the cards. They are in the
log. That's what you are verifying.. the QSO's are in the log. A QSL manager
just has to avoid playing detective. But, I don't think a note "after the
fact" sent to the DXCC desk or to N7NG would be wrong to do. Let THEM "red
flag it" if they want to...
I guess that's my thought. It could change....
;-\

73!
See ya' in the Pileups!

What do you fellow QSL managers do when you detect or suspect some
irregularities in your logs?  I have two different cases of someone
making consecutive QSOs with two calls, both of which belong to them
but which are from different countries.  Not to get too specific, but
the most recent case was an SM and a CT, same person, consecutive Qs
in the log.

I've also had several cards from one country in the same envelope,
from different calls, all written in the same hand and all with the
time wrong by an hour.   Almost certainly the different Qs were all
made by one person.

Do you just turn a blind eye and go by whatever is in your logs?  or
at the other extreme would you sneak to someone at DXCC in case the
cards are used for that award?
