Topband: V84SAA QSL

[John K9UWA]

re: QSL's and LOTW confirmation. 

This applies to ALL of the DXpeditions not just the V84SAA one. 

Consider not only the HUGE expense by all the team members of these 
operations but also the Large amount of time and effort going into making these 
DXpeditions possible Licensing Travel Equipment etc.

Now since this is the "Topband Reflector" consider the RATES. Yes up on 20m 
they can do 150 to 200 QSO's per hour while the dedicated low band op's slug it 
out at what 20 Q's per hour. And 80m is yes a little better rates but still SLOW 
compared to the upper bands. Think about the effort and time to install effective 
lowband antennas vs throw up a 30 foot mast with some multiband antenna on 
top and your on the air. 

Then think about your contribution.  $ 5.00 usd isn't going to break any us. 
Consider the 10 to 1 ratio of low band to high band rates. $ 50.00 might mean one 
less dinner out with the wife in a reasonably priced place. And that too isn't going 
to break most of us either. So please think about the above not only for this 
DXpedition but also others in the future.
