yes and I wish to mention all the ops who will kindly qsy and give you a needed
band/mode
like Paul GU3UOQ, just did for me.
I worked him on 20 rtty and asked that he try 30 meters WHEN HE HAD THE TIME.
(emphasis
mine).
He replied that 10138 right now was fine with him.
There he was and now I can mark off another band/mode.
Of course I will be sending off a qsl request. (with proper sae and sufficient
postage)
and for the record:
I qsl 100% LoTW, 100% to new band/modes bureau requests, and 100% to any direct
requests
whether they send sae/postage or not.
Same for all the stations I manage.
notwithstanding courtesy: A QSL is a memory of a romantic interlude in the past.
Please visit http://qsl.net/w9ol/IRC_Chart.htm
Always welcome updates from people reporting on their resident country.

Subject: [RTTY] A Good QSL Story
We all have our problems and gripes about QSLing, but I feel I must tell this
good story
to reassure us all that we are still actually true OMs working together out
there.
On 13 November 2005 I was working the WAE (RTTY) contest. I logged a QSO with
ZS6WB (Hal)
and, since I needed ZS, I sent a QSL card.
Sometime after that, I received an e-mail from Hal telling me that he had
received the
card but that, regretably, I was not in his log. However, he immediately
proposed a sked,
which we accomplished on New Years Day. It turned out to be each of our first
QSOs for
the New Year. Within days we had each others cards.
That tells me there are still OMs out there who want to do the right thing.
I bet there are more stories like that.
73, Don ADØK
