[RTTY] A Good QSL Story

[FireBrick]

yes and I wish to mention all the ops who will kindly qsy and give you a needed band/mode 
like Paul GU3UOQ, just did for me.
I worked him on 20 rtty and asked that he try 30 meters WHEN HE HAD THE TIME. (emphasis 
mine).
He replied that 10138 right now was fine with him.

There he was and now I can mark off another band/mode.

Of course I will be sending off a qsl request. (with proper sae and sufficient postage)
and for the record:
I qsl 100% LoTW, 100% to new band/modes bureau requests, and 100% to any direct requests 
whether they send sae/postage or not.
Same for all the stations I manage.

notwithstanding courtesy: A QSL is a memory of a romantic interlude in the past.

Subject: [RTTY] A Good QSL Story


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.
