It was great to receive Hector's very nice QSL card in the mail today! I have started uploading my contacts to LOTW for the benefit of those that use it. However, it is of no use to me because: 1) I am not an ARRL member so I am not eligible to apply for their awards. The QSL cards I receive are, themselves, my awards. I have nothing against the ARRL but all the money I have budgeted for amateur radio organizations goes to AMSAT. 2) The internet, email, etc., are great but can't provide the thrill I get when I open my mailbox and find a real, honest-to-goodness QSL card. Yes, I know postage and printing costs money and if I didn't spend the money on postage, paper, and ink, I could afford to donate more to AMSAT.
Evidently, many of you agree with me because, to date, I have mailed 423 QSL cards and have received 304. That is a much higher percentage than verifications I have gotten via LOTW. 73, Chuck, KM9U ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Maciel" <xe...@prodigy.net.mx> To: "Grupo Amsat BB" <amsat-bb@amsat.org> Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2011 21:48 Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Hector CO6CBF EL92 > > > Need to ask something, may be silly to some: > > - The ARRL can give an account of LoTW for Hector ...? > or hector can create ..? is it possible ..? > > That would be the best solution for him, and also find a QSL manager. > > Thanks if anyone can answer the first question. > > if you think I can help in mexico to be a bridge to Hector via airmail > I'm ready to help, many years ago sent a box to Cuba for the Cuban > Federation of Amateur radio equipment too old, no problem, not if > Now everything has changed from Mexico to Cuba. > > > Dave > XE3DX > > _______________________________________________ > Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
