[SFDXA] Electronic QSLs - Important message from Bill Moore NC1L via Dan N1ND

Wed, 13 Feb 2002 18:41:22 -0500

I sent a note to Dan N1ND regarding the notes about e-QSL's being thrown around. Bill Moore was asked about this procedure and he
said his comments were taken out of context in messages this past week. The following came in from Dan and Bill today.
