What about the DX station that requests green stamps to cover the cost of mailing the card and then sends your card via the Buro? This has happened to me on numerous occassions and probably to just about everyone else. Mort/WA2ARS - Original Message - From: "Charles Harpole" <[EMAIL PRO

2005-07-18 Thread Mike Mattes
One of the most irritating things in QSLing is the DX op who complains about theft in his country's postal system yet never gets a manager in another country with a more secure postal system. One has to wonder if such stations aren't DXing for dollars. If they're not, then they should either tel

Amen, brother. Nobody begrudges the guys in less developed countries a little extra. US hams, like the USA itself, are among the world's most generous. Thanks for saying that so well, Joe. 73, Jerry K3BZ - Original Message - From: "Joe Subich, W4TV" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Charles Harp
