An update on things at the KU9C incoming QSL
pile!
YA5T....I pushed out a bunch of the cards in the last month,
and have run out of cards (MY FAULT, I didn't watch the box empty close
enough!). I"ve re-ordered, and have labels printed for most everything I
have logs for in house. I expect that these will be sent out in June,
along with any others that I can answer.
If you have requested YA since March, there is a good chance
it's in with the PW0T cards. With the PW0T and YA5T activities in the last
few months, I've had at times in excess of 10,000 envelopes UNOPENED here....I'm
working through the pile, but please be patient with this process. I take
great pains to carefully deal with the incoming process, as the donations must
be credited to the appropriate call sign...and thankfully, there have been
several of those!
I should have a PW0T qsl card arrival date in the next week or
so. I expect to be shipping these cards in June....I'll have a final date in the
next week. I have a lot of cards ready to roll...so when the cards arrive,
many should go out relatively quickly. I want to clean this mess up just
as bad as you want to get your card.
Many of you have requested other cards that I manage.
They're worked as often as there are enough to work the logs, except for the
rarer ones, which I try to touch once a month minimum.
One note...I've seen several comments on the various
reflectors on 'WHERE ARE MY CARDS'. Perhaps not too surprising, many of
the calls, after a bit of looking, are folks that have requested several of the
cards I manage at one time in one envelope with one SASE. Some general
observations:
-each call sign, depending on what call it is, based on my
process, can take a month or two to process...sometimes less, sometimes
more. If you send a number of cards and simply a SASE, I'm not going to
change my process to speed your cards, as you are indirectly telling me that you
are not in a big hurry.
-if ONE of the cards does not have logs or cards, your cards
won't come till I get the logs. Thus, if you've requested YA5T and
PW0T....even though I can answer the YA5T, I must wait for the
PW0T.
Just a side note, I had one comment saying that a bureau card
was sent to me 6 months ago and not received yet. Bureaus do not work that
fast...even if your card gets to me fast. I process bureau cards no more
than once a year, and with the current pile of DIRECT cards, bureau cards
will take a bit of a back seat.
If you REALLY NEED SOMETHING, feel free to email...but please
don't email asking about where your PW0T card ...if you've read this far, you
have your answer. I get 25-50 emails a day just on that subject, so
hopefully this puts it to bed for a bit.
