> Folks,
> 
> I have received quite a number of QSO not in logs, I forgot my QSO 
> detail, my dog/significant other/kid/etc trashed my log, etc questions 
> in the last week, so let me help with some ground rules:
> 
> I'm not in a position to answer whether you are in or not in the log at 
> the moment.  Rather than ask via email, I'd ask you to kindly put the 
> inquiry in a NOTE with your QSL to me.  I'll research the log as I work 
> your QSL request, and respond accordingly.  If you are NOT IN THE WEB 
> log, don't give up, put down EVERY QSO you believe you had, and I'll do 
> the rest.  If the web log shows 20SSB, put down EVERY qso you think you 
> had on 20 SSB, not just the first.  Don't be embarassed with dupes, 
> rather, give me all the QSOs you've had, I'll see the dupes anyway, but 
> if you are not in the log the first time, it will save me a lot of time 
> researching.  Remember, every researched call takes time from processing 
> other cards.  If it's a busted call, I'll use well-established judgement 
> in issuing the card, and may ask you to help confirm that the person's 
> whose call appears did NOT make a QSO. 
> 
> 
> If you DO NOT HAVE ANY detail besides what is in the web log online, 
> it's impossible for me to give you credit for the card.  I need to have 
> SOME supporting detail on your QSO.  Give me your best guess from 
> memory, who you heard work BS7H just before or after.  Chances are one 
> of your friends was in the hunt at the same time, and can help.  
> Remember, it will be a lot easier to remember it now than a month from 
> now.  And, I'm not in a position to issue a QSL to you 'just because' 
> the web log says you're there.  Not the way it works.
> 
> Don't fret the 39 cent stamp or the 84 cent stamp you sent before the 
> postage increase.  I'll cover it.
> 
> If i do not respond to your email, please don't take it personally.  
> Please follow the guidelines here.   I tend to not answer the emails 
> when they ask the questions above, as each email is roughly equivalent 
> to the time it takes to answer 2-3 QSLs...and i tend to choose to answer 
> the cards first.
> 
> I'll let you know when the cards start going out via this forum.
> 
> As an aside, if you have a problem with how I do QSLs, how long it takes 
> to get a card from me, etc, please take it up with me directly.  I don't 
> appreciate reading it third hand via a reflector, etc.  Frankly, if you 
> are kind enough to send me a note, I'll be glad to help research it.  In 
> many cases, I may be able to help you understand why the process take so 
> long for your QSL, as I keep pretty good records of those calls that 
> take time, and for what reasons that is the case.
