Well Ron the poit is just that one you mentioned. That routine isn't applied to everybody. And about the DEMO operation I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about dont't you ???. It was one of those out of the routine and nothing was requested. The point is that ZW0S has ALL information needed on his HomePage and in my oppinion, there is no sense to return qsl's submitted for credit when all information is available. BTW I'm not trying to change your point of view. I'm just expressing mine At least, we live in democratic countries and we can say what we think isn't that ??? best regards
