Thanks for all the comments so far. Some common themes are emerging: - Quality is more important than quantity
- Data going back more than 5 or 10 years is not very valuable - No one seems to rely on the DX4WIN data by itself, they usually confirm it themselves using another source (like GOLIST or QRZ.COM) before sending off the card. Going forward (after the next release), I'll probably start limiting the list to the most recent 10 years worth of data. I somehow need to distinguish older one-time operations from stations that have had the same manager for more than 10 years. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Mar 14 14:09:08 2006 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Floyd Sense) Date: Tue Mar 14 14:29:44 2006 Subject: [Dx4win] Direct label printing on QSL References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I never had much luck with HP printers since the ones I've had all fed from the front and wrapped the card in too small a radius while printing. Result - curled card. My Epson C84 worked pretty well with the card stock until the feed rolls got worn and now it feeds crooked. I'd suggest looking only at printers that feed from the rear or top and thus don't bend the stock as much. 73, K8AC ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jack Shirley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "dx4win list" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 9:42 AM Subject: [Dx4win] Direct label printing on QSL What printers handle QSL card stock well? Thought my HP3015 was working OK, but it has a problem with toner fusing with the second card in the printer. Any suggestions?

In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jim, How about some type of archive file with the older 10 years data?? First selection would be the current less than 10 years. Second selection would be the archive file older than 10 years for those hunting for old qsl info?
