Re: [DX-NEWS] Does anybody In Moldova QSL?
Until two weeks ago I was asking the same questions. In my case I worked 5 ER stations in the last 9 months with negative results. However, In the last 14 days I received 3 ER cards including ER1QQ and ER4DX. I each case I had sent direct with an IRC. The lesson for me was patience. Hang in there. If you re-send consider sending an IRC instead of a GS.

Within the last year I've sent direct requests to 4 stations, and re-sent to two. All had a GS--one went with two--plus an SAE in all and every one was sent in a business-envelope with either plain 80-cent stamps or post office meter stickers. I've tried to protect each mailing from prying eyes along the way, but I have no knowledge if any of the cards get through. The most recent one was 3 months ago, but a couple were from last fall and mid-winter. Has anybody ever had succeeded in getting cards from ER1QQ, ER1ZZ or ER4DX? I hear ER1QQ on regularly, and a couple of times I've tried to ask him if my cards have gotten to him, but all he ever says is QSL via QRZ.COM (I suspect he doesn't understand my request, and I regret that my only spoken language is English, alas). I'm about to try once more using local mint stamps instead of GS's, but I was wondering if it's worth the effort. And on the same topic, any word on SSB cards from PW0T, K1B or CY9DH yet? Thanks in advance. - pjd ER1LW took 3 months for a card in 2001 ER1QQ sent one card on 3-9-02 and one on 3-31-02 and nothing yet.

Hi Ken.
I first worked Armenia (then UG6-now EK) in 1958. Finally got a QSL in
late 80's.
Patience, my boy, patience!

Yeah, and I was likely one of 'em. Like I said...it's nice to be able to afford a killer signal like that, eh? I think I'll try a couple of other ER's when I hear them (ones mentioned in earlier posts), and see if I have better luck. I need 13 more entities confirmed for 200, so I'm trying to clear up loose ends. I have about 18 worked but not conformed, and most I suspect will be in within a couple of months. It's just the ones that have been on the list for over 6 months that I'm trying to get. A6 and ZP are the other two entities that I'm urgently trying to get a card out of. 73 de W2IRT Peter Dougherty [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please visit http://www.nyctrackbook.com for details of my book, Tracks of the New York City Subway --- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems, etc DX-NEWS http://njdxa.org/dx-news DX-CHAT: http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net ---

Probably this error was caused by my hurry to finish OPDX.578 Sunday morning so I could attend the Cleveland Indian's game that afternoon.

With a zillion DX forums in existence, I chose this one as a good source of wisdom from the assembled multitude, and the most likely source for an authoritative answer to my query.

In every endeavour I've undertaken in my 41 years, I've always strived to help out those who are less savvy than I in a particular field with positive words and actions. That you choose to demean, even in a roundabout way, speaks volumes. Somebody do my work for me and tell me what the QSL route is. Apparently it was not important enough to them to get the right information when the contact was made. Oh, and for the record, if you bothered to read my initial post and the follow-ups thereto, you would know that wasn't the case. I *do* listen to the DX's instructions. I use the 'net to find routes to even the most difficult stations and rarely do I encounter problems. In this case, the instructions from, several stations were QSL via QRZ.com and the DX repeatedly stated QSL 100%. Fine. I took those words to heart, looked up their addresses as instructed and sent a number of cards, SAE's and GS's, only to get no reply. I'm likely not close to your level of DX success (I'm sure you're honor role, 5B-WAZ, 5B DXCC and everything else), but to me getting one more new one still means something, even from a relatively easy country to work like Moldova. When numerous attempts--following established protocols and the DX's rules--failed, I turned to this forum to see if those more experienced that I had encountered the same problems, and evidently they have. Therefore the harm being, what exactly??? Not just that, I'd love to see a list posted somewhere of known deadbeat QSLers so folks like myself could save a few GS's or IRCs and go after those who legitimately play radio in a fair and just manner. we can always bother 1800 members and someone out of that group will do the work for them.

With all that said, I found the discussion that took place was extremely enlightening and I received many answers to a question that has been bothering me since this time last year, when I first took to the HF bands again after a 22-year absence. If holding to protocol on a low-traffic mailing list is more invigorating to you than helping a relatively-new DXer out, then it's obvious where your priorities lie, and I feel sorry for you. Really. In every endeavour I've undertaken in my 41 years, I've always strived to help out those who are less savvy than I in a particular field with positive words and actions. That you choose to demean, even in a roundabout way, speaks volumes. Somebody do my work for me and tell me what the QSL route is. Apparently it was not important enough to them to get the right information when the contact was made. Oh, and for the record, if you bothered to read my initial post and the follow-ups thereto, you would know that wasn't the case. I *do* listen to the DX's instructions. I use the 'net to find routes to even the most difficult stations and rarely do I encounter problems. In this case, the instructions from, several stations were QSL via QRZ.com and the DX repeatedly stated QSL 100%. Fine. I took those words to heart, looked up their addresses as instructed and sent a number of cards, SAE's and GS's, only to get no reply. I'm likely not close to your level of DX success (I'm sure you're honor role, 5B-WAZ, 5B DXCC and everything else), but to me getting one more new one still means something, even from a relatively easy country to work like Moldova. When numerous attempts--following established protocols and the DX's rules--failed, I turned to this forum to see if those more experienced that I had encountered the same problems, and evidently they have. Therefore the harm being, what exactly??? Not just that, I'd love to see a list posted somewhere of known deadbeat QSLers so folks like myself could save a few GS's or IRCs and go after those who legitimately play radio in a fair and just manner. we can always bother 1800 members and someone out of that group will do the work for them. Steve and Urb both have preached till they are blue in the face about this and it goes on and on... Its like that STOP sign at the end of the street. Stop only means slow down as you downshift around the corner. We make our own rules as we go along. Screw everyone else as long as I get mine. - pjd --- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems,
[DX-NEWS] Here it is
The premier reflector for QSL information can be found at: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx-qsl It is the one of the best resources for QSL information, BUT wait there's more A great resource is the GoLIST, now available in a 32 bit windows format called GoWIN http://golist.net/ OR A great resource run by Kurt Brandsetter of Vienna, Austria (excellent site) http://members.chello.at/kurt.brandstetter/Page8/page8.htm OR A great site whereby you enter in a callsign and it checks multiple callbooks at a single time... http://www.ampr.spb.ru/multi/index.html OR Another great multiple check site called PATHFINDER http://www.qsl.net/pathfinder/WebClient/WebClientControl.htm These are all great resources and I can honestly say that all can produce great results and should be the 1st place(s) that are checked. On behalf of the NJDXA, thank you for the kind words that have been mentioned in the various posts. WEe have worked hard and continue to work hard to maintain a truly unique DX'ing tool amongst the many available. Your comments and opinions are encouraged DIRECT (hint hint) to either Urb or myself. I am asking that Urb put the above links on the DXR webpage for handy reference. A number of them can already be found on the NJDXA main webpage http://www.njdxa.org/links.html IF!!! you have others, please send them to ME and I will compile them, publish them and them have them linked to the DXR webpage Thanks for helping make the DXR the #1 DX reflector. 73, Steven - KF2TI Systems Administrator NJDXA DXR Reflector outgoing mail scanned with Norton's NAV2002 --- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems, etc DX-NEWS http://njdxa.org/dx-news DX-CHAT: http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net ---
