Here are the final plans for our "rover" trip for this weekends Phone SS
Contest:
We will start the contest in North Dakota, using the call, KE9QT. We will
operate until about 0600z.
We will then move into South Dakota and operate using the call N0HJZ until
the end of the contest.
We are using two calls since many of you couldn't find a way to log us with
one call. Although the rules state you can work a station only once, we feel
we are a "new" station since we are crossing over into a new section.
73's and we'll see you in the pile-ups!!! Rich N0HJZ

*** 1st International High Speed Telegraphy Championship ***
This was held at Siofok, Hungary in Oct. '95.
And the used RUFZ was rather old version so the score might not
be compared directly with above New RUFZ.
!! But nevertheless, congrats to HA3OV for his great score !!

Subject: QSLing
Message-ID: <Pine.3.89.9511132115.C15620-0100000 at jake.bga.com>
Perhaps I'm old fashioned, but I QSL 100% for all cards received. All
qsos are checked to confirm that the QSL is "valid." While in Penn,
there were approximately 3000 QSLs per year. Here in Texas, there are
about 1000 QSLs per year. It sometimes takes two years to catch up with
all the incoming cards, but they all get answered. To me, as K1AR once
stated, one commits to QSL if one QSOs. Managers or helpers are fine-no
problem No one who ever worked N3BB has not gotten a QSL if received
here. There are approximately 20,000 QSLs in shoeboxes here! I don't
know if this helps me work more stations or not-really don't care-it
goes back to the courtesy and "magic" of the hobby. This hobby is still
magic!

Subject: QSLing service a business opportunity?
Message-ID: <v01530500accd17d8b917@[192.0.2.1]>
QSLing ... it's not just a problem ... it a potential business opportunity.
The topic of QSLing has come around once again ..... with many good comments.
Some suggest the use of digital or electronic QSLing perhaps by accessing
an on-line database. Others prefer to receive individual QSL for the
collections.
For example, WQ5L wrote:
>Award applicants, instead of submitting QSLs, would note the call/date/
>time/band/mode of the QSO and note that the log is online. The award
>sponsors would then run checks of the submitted info vs. the online

>
So .... why doesn't some bright fellow, small firm, or even an organization
like the ARRL Foundation (NCDXF, etc) set themselves up to do this on a
commercial basis or in certain cases as a fund raising activity?
Logs submitted to the various contest sponsors (ie. ARRL, JARL, CQ, DARC, etc.)
generally become the "property" of those organizations, right? So, they
could in turn license the logs (very easy in disc form) to a "QSL Service
Provider".
The QSL service provider could then put all the logs into a central database and
then set up shop. Individuals from around the world could send in their QSL
requests... for a small fee... and get a relatively quick turn-around. How
big a fee? Should be less that US$1, I would think.
If the QSOs are not in the database ..... send them back. A minimal charge
could even be made for this effort (postage costs + ???).
The ARRL, CQ Mag, etc. could then "audit" the operations to make sure
things are run on the up and up, at least with respect to their various
awards programs. This would help keep the QSL provider honest.
In the case of DXpeditions where funds are often raised thru the QSL
effort, it might be possible to contract for a "percentage" of the income
over and above expenses. In addition, the QSL provider, in order to obtain
the "rights" for handling the QSLing might even provide a source of funding
for DXpeditions.
Just a thought.
