“Preservation Project – Saving Some Important DX Logs” By Bob Schenck, N2OO/9M6OO
In March of 2003, the QSL Managers Society was approached by Bob Young K4JDJ about taking over the logs that he was handling. He had
some family health issues to deal with and needed to off load his QSL managing duties. Many of the logs that he was holding were
those from John Parrot W4FRU who became SK awhile back. It is worth noting that Bob often assisted John over the years.
On April 5th, Bob Schenck N2OO and Skip Maze N1IBM drove down to Virginia to pick up the logs. The 18 hour roundtrip took them
across the Delaware Bay on the Cape May/Lewes Ferry, and then across the Chesapeake Bay/Bridge Tunnel to Suffolk, Virginia where
K4JDJ lives. Upon arrival, Bob had us back our pickup truck up to his garden shed where all the logs and cards had already been
nicely sorted and packed. The load completely filled N2OO’s pickup truck bed to a depth of about 2 feet!
Upon return to NJ and over the next 3 weeks, N2OO dug into the logs and blank cards and began to sort everything out. Everything was
found quite orderly! K4JDJ did a great job keeping everything in order. There turned out to be 60 logs involved, some going back to
1973. There were also somewhere around 100,000 blank QSL cards.
Thirteen new QSL managers were solicited among the members of the QSL Managers Society to take over these logs. The logs and
appropriate blank cards were packaged in preparation for mailing to the new managers. A check was done with the DXCC desk to verify
that all logs (except a couple of maritime mobile operations of course) counted for DXCC. All were found to be OK. On April 23rd all
logs were shipped to their new homes.
Many thanks to the volunteer managers who have dedicated themselves to the preservation of some DX history… and who will continue to
provide QSL cards for these special calls from the past.
