your absolutely right Fred and that's why I print out two. I send the one with the submission (even though they say they really don't need it). But I was told...that every once in a while a data entry person will not be able to decipher some handwriting and the printout helps to decide.
As for the cards, 10 meters and 10 mHz is my common mistake. I've made it a practice to put a small postit note on the card if there is any possibility of confusion. I also use postit notes to indicate which qso's are being submitted when there are multiple qsos on the card. I also use postit notes when the person puts labels on the back of the card. (as a manager, I suggest NOT putting labels on the back, I shouldn't have missed them, but on occasion, I have. I have no problem with multiple cards for the same station). And as a tip for all, if you have qso's for many contacts, but you only need one qsl for a particular band or mode, feel free to ask that the qsl be on a separate card. I received a request like that just the other day and it's no problem for me to do that. (DXB makes it very easy to print multiple qso and/or singles, just assign that single a unique GROUP character) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fred Handscombe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "DXBase reflector" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 5:57 AM Subject: Re: [Dxbase] Re: Submission ? >> So when you do the Awards Module, select Cards only. >> This will then prepare a report to submit with your cards. >> Actually the report isn't necessary unless having the cards Field Checked. >> If you mail the cards to the DXCC desk, they just throw it away. >> > > I have always felt that the "value" of the hard copy report is the copy I > keep here when > I send off my cards.
