Ummmm, seems to me that the founding fathers of Sprint said "no limits on the
operator"...but there's always room for discussion. I don't think two signals
at once should be allowed. And the rule about moving 5kHz before soliciting
QSOs (either now or "in a minute") is pretty clear...don't! CQ-ing on two
frequencies, alternating back and forth, complies pretty clearly with both the
letter and the spirit. If I call CQ with my 100w on 40 'til I'm blue in the
face and give up...then move to the other side of the Big Noise and repeat the
same...then go back to spot 1 and feebly call again...am I in violation of the
proposed rule? Seems like the rule would have to be written with so many con-
ditions and modifiers that it would immediately spawn 10x more loopholes than
the one it takes on. My theory is that the Big Guns have gotten SO big and SO
fast that they run out of activity sooner than ever before, resulting in ever
more clever techniques to extract Q's. Let's get more folks on, folks!
A measly 163 x 48 for 100w on phone...I'll use the name RoadKill next time!

....SSB contact with TZ6NU which isn't likely because I already have
TZ and don't do SSB anyway. A more careful examination of the card
revealed that it wasn't for me. It is made out to IK4PMA.
The wierdest part is that the back of the card is addressed to
IK4PMA
and has the correct CANADIAN postage on it so I can just chuck it in
the mail. Seems to me that this is going about it the long way
round?
People say a lot of rude things about F6FNU, and some of them are probably
justified. But not everythng he does is immoral. He sends cards promptly,
and he saves money by cutting the corners off the envelopes and sending
cards
via a cheaper rate (still airmail). He also does things like the above,
where he relies on the good faith of an intermediary to save himself $$.

Another interesting DX QSL chintzy op: I was happy to catch S92LB on 10m
a few years ago for a new band country, and promptly qsl'ed. He, quite
surprisingly since I had heard some concerns, very promptly qsl'ed back to
me. However, he enclosed cards for 2 other W/K stations with no SAE or
envelope. Just addressed cards -- I guess he expected me to forward them
on. Well, being the "gentleperson" (in the words of AA5BT) that I am, and
believing in the true Golden Rule (do unto others, etc.), I promptly put
each
card into an envelope and mailed it to the deserving. In each envelope I
put
a note that S92LB had forwarded them to me without postage, but I was
sending them on because I felt they needed the card. I was surprised that
neither op chose to even send a card thanking me, but at least my
conscience was clear. 73, Tom WB4IUX
ps: btw: I sent my first qsl to F6FNU for a contact with 3X0HNU on 40 m.
It was mailed on September 9 with an SAE and $2. We'll see how long it
takes.
