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 .....
