[SCCC] The QSL Man

[Dennis Younker NE6I]

For those of you that haven't seen this on the OPDX bulletin or elsewhere,
this is an update on W4MPY, aka The QSL Man. He has been in the business of
printing/selling QSL cards to the ham community for many years. He often
advertised in QST, which is where I first heard about him. I always got
prompt and excellent service from him. It was very personalized too. This
clipping came from today's edition of the OPDX Bulletin.

 

 

THE QSL MAN (W4MPY Update). David Carroll, W5QDF, son of Wayne, W4MPY, The
QSL Man, wants to get the story out about Wayne and why he dropped off the
earth last year with the QSL printing business. He provided the following:
The QSL Man is NOT Dead -- Wayne, W4MPY, the QSL man has been gravely ill
with cancer, but is still alive. During his illness the QSL business was
taken over by a member of the family that is not a ham, but does know
graphic arts and was instrumental in helping Wayne with the software he used
for creating the variety of QSL cards.  Unfortunately this family member did
not do well with the business and things just spiraled out of control until
Wayne, W4MPY, and his XYL Lola, N4KAI, were forced to close the business. We
are aware of the money owed many and are working to fulfill our obligation
to these loyal customers.

 

Please contact David Carroll, W5QDF, on this E-mail account
<QSLman_Recovery at yahoo.com> and let David see what he can do to resolve
things. David, W5QDF, and his XYL Sonya KF5ZRA are taking care of Wayne and
Lola and they're doing well.
