[RTTY] A Good QSL Story

[Donald S Inbody]

We all have our problems and gripes about QSLing, but I feel I must tell this good story to reassure us all that we are still actually true OMs working together out there.

On 13 November 2005 I was working the WAE (RTTY) contest.  I logged a QSO with ZS6WB (Hal) and, since I needed ZS, I sent a QSL card.

Sometime after that, I received an e-mail from Hal telling me that he had received the card but that, regretably, I was not in his log.  However, he immediately proposed a sked, which we accomplished on New Years Day.  It turned out to be each of our first QSOs for the New Year.  Within days we had each others cards.

That tells me there are still OMs out there who want to do the right thing.

I bet there are more stories like that.
