[DX-CHAT] VP6DX Ducie Island 2008 :: News
Attention: John and Dave. Click on the below link. It should take you to the News option on the VE6DX Web Site. Read News release #29. It's all about the status of their QSLing and the procedure to be followed if you have not as yet requested your cards and or LoTW for your callsign. Also there is a separate paragraph with a special E-mail address to write to if you have requested QSL's and/or LoTW, but have received nothing by November 1st. The News release is dated approximately one month ago. Good Luck getting your Confirmations, 73, Leon, K2EWB http://ducie2008.dl1mgb.com/news/index.php John and All, I saw your post earlier, which reminded me I had never requested mine (or donated either). Sort of dumb on my part since I worked them on 20 band slots! I also had the opportunity at Dayton to see the QSL they are sending out--It's both unique and exceptionally well made. It's actually a booklet, complete with pictures, etc. Anyway, your email kicked me in the butt, and I realized I had better get it done. I went to their website, followed the procedures outlined, including making an appropriate donation, and everything seems to have gone through perfectly. I made the donation via paypal. Here's the process: 1. Go to www.vp6dx.com 2. click on the "online QSL request" 3. Enter your callsign in the popup window 4. Fill in the requested data from your log on the screen that appears and click "next" 5. A screen will now show a summary of the QSO's you entered, and has supposedly been saved to their database for verification. At this point you need to decide if you want a QSL sent directly or not. If you do, you need to go through the remainder of the process to request it, including arranging for your donation. You could also send it by mail, but that will take longer. But if you don't use PayPal, I guess that's your only choice. I don't know what the problem is that you incurred trying to contact them, but I can imagine that they are inundated with various requests. Accordingly, I would urge you to you their "automatic" process (as I did), and then just wait it out. You should get a receipt from PayPal, so by keeping a copy of the list of QSO's you get in response to making your entries, I would think you could eventually get your QSL if some glitch prevents that otherwise. I also think that going the donation route (it's only a $5 minimum) might expedite your request. I remember early on that it was clearly indicated that those who donated would get preference as to timing. I just hope my waiting so long didn't put me completely out of the preferential process. Hope this gives you some encouragement.

It seem all have had them for a month or so, and I haven't seen any postings on the DX-QSL reflector about recent cards. I guess I will never get one since I can't even get a response to emails re this. Thanks again. John Owens - N7TK --- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.

Re: [DX-CHAT] VP6DX
Yes, I got mine some time ago too. Beautiful card! That's the reason I like paper cards. 73, Zck W9SZ On Sun, 9 Nov 2008, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My thanks to the many folks who responded to my question about VP6DX QSL status.
