QSLing is a chore and at times quite frustrating. Among the most annoying things is trying to get those rare ones who you have to QSL a second time (or maybe a third). In some cases it's just not worth another try, but making this determination is difficult.
Once or twice a year I run a list of all my needed QSL's and try to determine what should be done with some of the difficult but often much needed ones. I would like to see a flag I could set on the QSO record that would say in effect "SUSPENDED". This would mean it's not worth trying anymore, yet I don't want to either delete the Q or mark it as not valid for DXCC. The reason is that a miracle might happen and and card comes in, either as a real card or via LoTW. It has happened that such a card has shown up, and if I had deleted the Q I would have to re-enter it. If such a confirmation does come in, then when making it confirmed, I would like the "SUSPENDED" status to be removed automatically. When using the Tools>Selection Wizard I would like to be able to choose to include or exclude suspended Q's from the selection wizard output. Also in the Summary window if for example I have worked 5T on 10 Phone but it's suspended then instead of a black W, perhaps a red W could instead be shown. The feature of a SUSPENDED status would reduce the work load on QSLing by not presenting me again and again the same Q to sutdy which I have decided before is not work working on again, yet I am not ready to delete it from the log. While my suggestion is for a new status flag, if someone has a suggestion of another way to deal with this I am listening! Ron, N5IN
