Topband: Claiming 160m DXCC - Sending QSLs

[wb6rse1 at mac.com]

Congratulations Peter.

I had my 160m cards checked at the Visalia DX convention last month  
where ARRL officials were present. The checking was fast and efficient  
but the one surprise was that on the 160m cards, the checker manually  
noted on my list the time of the QSO.

In general, QSLs do not have to have either a time or signal report  
noted on the card to receive DXCC credit, apparently with this  
exception for 160m QSO time.

I can only guess that this is the result bogus cards submitted with  
exotic Qs in broad daylight. Perhaps someone knows the history?
