Note:  to cut to the chase - this posting includes lavish praise for Bill Moore/NC1L at the DXCC Desk and some info which may be useful to others submitting QSLs from EP2MKO for DXCC credit.
 
 =======
Not that Bill needs to hear kudos and other words of praise, but let me say I was more than a little thrilled to receive an email response from him this morning from a query I sent over the weekend.  And .. he responded with both the desired outcome and good humor!
 
For those who may run into the same problem ... during the Northwest DX Convention in Seattle, WA  I submitted a DXCC endorsement application with an EP2MKO QSL (rcvd via UA6HCW/RU6FZ).  When I received my DXCC award status results by mail this past Saturday, I noticed that the EP2MKO card had been rejected with the comment:   *Ploubalay QSL Invalid*       This apparently referred to QSLs sent from a QSL Service in Ploubalay, France which may have been routinely rejected in the past although cards direct from the UA6HCW/RU6FZ route seem to be okay.  
 
Not knowing this, I sent an email to Bill asking for a bit more explanation as I didn't understand what "Ploubalay" means .. since I don't speak Klingon or Tagalog or whatever language it was supposed to be.
 
Short story long ... Bill (NC1L) responded early this morning admitting that every once in awhile an error can occur .. and that he liked my Klingon reference. :-)   And, he forwarded updated PDF files showing my corrected DXCC Award Status.  So, not only do I have an email from him saying all is well, I also have the "proof" that he (and the DXCC Desk) have actually made the necessary corrections. 
 
I'm a happy camper .....   :-)
