There is little difference in processing time when submitting via a DXCC field checker. In fact, it may take a little longer via a checker if the field checker doesn't submit the application quickly. At HQ, there is virtually no difference. The application goes into the queue along with all others, so is subject to the same backlog. Field-checked apps are more quickly entered into the system, but you wouldn't notice that difference.
The cause of the current huge backlog is that management has not provided for (nearly) enough manpower to do the job. The current backlog appears to over 14 weeks. This delay is IN HOUSE. When you include the time it takes to process mail in and out of HQ, plus the time it takes for the post between you or the checker and HQ and back, it is more like 17 weeks. It's a shame. 73, Wayne, N7NG Jackson Hole, Wyoming _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2008 9:08 AM To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Subject: [DX-CHAT] Re: Card Checkers One would think that submitting your QSL's through a field checker would give a faster turn-around.
