No worries Mark. Dank u vel.
Perhaps I have interpreted his facts (as presented) incorrectly. I do not
know.
That's why I prefaced my initial message with:
"... OK, so let me get this straight:..." (which is an open invite to
correct me)
It would be really good to know why the Doctored card was sent to the DXCC
desk. As for the AH3C/KH5J QSL card...
perhaps it's supposition on my part, but other than to submit for DXCC
credit, what other possible reason would a person submit
a card to the DXCC desk and circumvent his local card checker OK1MP? (by
registered mail at that_)
I get fake cards from folks from time to time. I toss them in the trash. I
also never send out doctored cards (I don't make them). Certainly I would
never send a questionable one to an awards committee like the DXCC desk.
Like in all good mysteries, maybe there is a piece of the puzzle missing?
So, I am stumped. Time for me to sit back, relax and have others beat
around the facts. I could really care less what others DXCC totals are.
Never applied, probably never will! (I do like a good mystery though)
Have a good stay, wherever you are.....self-isolating in NB

Hi Mike
Please forgive my blunt words, but It's about your tone what is bothering
me.
I see that all too often happening on this list.
You are the first one responding here on his message.
Surely one could ask OK1RD some questions, pass some information/experience
on topic?
OK1RD in the end, might be right or wrong.
I still do not get the picture.

I'm not sure what your beef is with me , Mark/PA5MW.
All I did was summarize his emails and brought no extra facts, opinions or
innuendo's into play.
I jumped to no conclusions. I asked a question at the end (the hail-mary
bit)
He started this, not me.
In the end, he's the guy that has to look back at himself in the mirror.
If there is some mistake or misunderstanding, I sure didn't make it.
I can appreciate that English is probably not his first language, but I am
not understanding his side of it and seek clarification.

OK, so let me get this straight:
You sent the DXCC desk a Doctored card ==> *check* (that was clearly
explained up front)
got busted ==> negative contribution (that is the 'fact' needing to be
peer-reviewed)
then claimed you didn't send it ==> your interpretation
(you just wanted them to admire your skills?) ==> negative contribution
got kicked out of the DXCC program and are now mad about it, ==> yes he is.
(still see that negative tone here)
so are throwing a Hail-Mary so someone here might help? ==> negative
contribution
**See a pattern here Mike?**
If there is any uncertainties on OK1RD's topic or, if you just must jump to
that conclusion immediately, I would rather suggest you put in some elements
which can help the discussion here.
Some of us might see things differently and it would be helpful if people
share their knowledge ON topic.
Have a nice day,
Mark, PA5MW

I think all you've done is make it worse. Now we all know how it happened !
<snipped a whole bunch out from OK1RD>
Hi,
Above all, to all of us previously born solid health during the period of
the COVID-19 pandemic. Let me show you how one can be easily kicked out from
1 position in spite of meeting all the competition rules. Please read
carefully all E-mails copies sequentially sorted. No more notes just facts
from my side. Orginals of correspondence are available.
73, Jarda-OK1RD
