[SixClub] Fw: VUCC V44KAI

[Richard J. Fiero II W5TFW]

Price increase without adequate warning...............

Gentlemen, 


 I understand it costs money for the software development for VUCC & LOTW.    however I also FEEL that the MEMBERS have a RIGHT to be WARNED before being  railroaded !  this is completely UNFAIR !

 this amounts to NO warning at all ! 

 I spoke to bill last week about this particular application to make SURE it wouldnt be a problem, he MENTIONED to me that while he WANTED a price increase it wasnt like;ly to get one for a LONG time. !!!!!    NOW this ?

 I would LIKE to SEE this APPLICATION  GRANDFATHERED
IN !  as I feel thats FAIR and just !   

 I lso think you should be,  COURTEOUS  enough to WARN the membership in a timely MANNER !   

  I have  NEVER,........SEEN the ARRL  stick US like this before !

OK,

 

2 questions.

 

 I have hi cards and I am his qsl manager.  & I am an awards  Manager does this mean that because he lives in another Country I cant do his cards ?  this seems a bit 

rustic to me.  if there is a questio of my HONESTY<   I can  MAIL YOU all of the cards  that are on the list. However, they are ALSO listed on LOTW VUCC........

so either way you have double confirmtion already. I just prefer to be the awardsv  manager thats all.

 

  as I understand it, Initialy applications are 10.00 dollars !   IN his INITIAL application. I sent 149 cards !.         so to do another, appliction shall cost me another 10.00.......   where is the increase ?   I failded to see it on the web site . and I am looking at it NOW !

 

                                                                                               Joey

    Bill,

     

     a few days ago I sent you the paperwork for V44KAI  VUCC. 149 to be exact.

     

    he has another 65 + or -  on LOTW  however I wanted these to be done 1st &,.

     I have NO ideal how to do a VUCC  application on LOTW anyway ! 

     

     the point !

     

     If you would be so KIND as to let me know when you get his application DONE !

    BEFORE, it is mailed to me........... ( much cheaper than mailing to HIM.........)

     

     I would like to then submit an LOTW VUCC  form also to add the other 50 + to his total then mail all of it to me at once !  IF this is not to much headache for you.

    I have a few more of his cards that have come in  but he can wait on those till next year.  he will have 200 + and thats a good start so far as I am  concerned.

     

     

                                                                                           Thanks,  Joey
