Moving my county name to a single line Sep 25, 2007 12:34 AM
(Total replies: 0)
With my county, and more, on a single line, that line of text runs completely over the graphic I have chosen for my card. Is there some way that my county, Montgomery County, could be put on a separate line? If not, could it be removed and added to one of the open fields that are used to add miscellaneous info? thanks W2RDD W2RDD Rich

I'm still fairly new to the e-QSLing process. I make every effort to confirm all QSOs with an E-QSL card. I don't care if the other party is in the system or not, I send it, never-the-less, with a personal note at the bottom. If I do not receive a reply, I am not emotionally crushed. I am, however, delighted when I find one in my "mail box". Especially one with a photo or graphic that the sender uploaded. And, I will send a modest financial contribution to the site from time-to-time, but not to private individuals. No IRCs or green stamps. Anyway the depressed yankee dollar is not greatly valued these days. Unless it is to be spent on a shopping-spree in New York City. I don't paper-chase or contest. Not interested in WAS, DXCC or other wallpaper. So that may explain my non-stressed attitude, expectations, and demands. 73 Rich W2RDD W2RDD Rich

Make It a Requirement To Be AG To Use eQSL Jul 24, 2007 03:54 PM
(Total replies: 8)
I sent five-bucks via a credit card and, hopefully, will get th e-QSL US mail reply. So yes I think the AG is a fine idea and should be practiced. However, I have to wonder if this will increase the response level to my outgoing cards. I am referring to a casual, courtesy e-QSL to another op acknowledging the contact and a short note at the bottom. No awards for either of us involved. I can't tell you how many cards I have sent, that have not been reciprocated. I don't expect amateurs to spend hours at the computer sending out QSLs. I guess that, as a QRP operator, I like to say thanks for the contact with someone who didn't have an S9 plus signal. So I am not really upset. I think that, like USPO mailed QSL cards, participation is down. I find that QSLing is now more mode oriented. QRP to QRP, SSTV to SSTV, Satellites, etc. My experience has been positive when it becomes mode/operating specialized. In my case, QRP-to-QRP. 73 W2RDD Rich

What do you do with eQSLs? Apr 5, 2007 01:44 PM

I'm very new to this entire procedure. Simply stated, I like the idea of a courtesy card for no other reason than to say how-do-you-do, it was nice meeting you, and I hope we meet again. No award chasing, no paper chasing. I don't care if e-QSLs count towards anything. So, when I get back to the states next month and am active again, I look forward to e-QSLs in my inbox. 73 es cul Rich W2RDD W2RDD Richard Downey |
