I do wish these Web sites (eg: GlobalQSL) were a bit clearer on the costs involved in the process. For example, on the "Getting Started" page, there is no mention of cost.

They are not the only ones, there are many other web sites like this. -End of Rant_ 73, Dick, W1KSZ > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] > Date: Thu, 26 Nov 2009 10:28:56 -0500 > CC: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Dxbase] GlobalQSL service - do you use it?
