GLAD TO SEE THAT THERE IS NOW AN OFF-SHORE QSL MANAGER !
When I was in Beijing from 1986-90, I operated from "QH" and used my own
QSL manager. But the other (local) operators used the system(?) described
in this email.
Consequently many QSL's were never answered and BY1QH had a very poor QSL
reputation worldwide. QSL requests even filtered back to my QSL manager or
myself for 'their' QSO's. (Still are !)
Running into someone at Dayton: "Why can't I get a QSL from BY1QH?" This is
why I had a manager for 'my" QSO's.
Glad to see a solution has come about.
