MY OPEN LETTER TO ARRL Sep 24, 2010 07:07 PM
(Total replies: 6)
I SENT A LETTER TO ARRL TODAY 9/24/10 I JUST WANTED TO SHARE SOME OF MY THOUGHTS. I WANT TO BECOME A ARRL MEMBER. I FIND IT DIFFICULT AT THIS TIME DUE TO ARRL'S DOUBLE STANDARD WHEN IT COMES TO PAPER QSL CARDS AND ELECTRONIC LOGS USED TO VERIFY ARRL'S AWARDS PROGRAM. CASE IN POINT.....PAPER QSL CARDS ARE NOT HELD TO THE DOUBLE BLIND STANDARD WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO DISTINGUISH ARRL'S AWARDS PROGRAM ABOVE OTHERS. DOES THAT MEAN THOSE AWARD HOLDERS PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE WHO USED THE PAPER METHOD TO VERIFY THEIR QSO'S FOR AN AWARD DID NOT OR WILL NOT QUALIFY FOR THE AWARD FOR WHICH THEY HAD APPLIED, BECAUSE A DOUBLE BLIND PROCESS WHICH ARRL ADVOCATES WAS NOT APPLIED? I MUST NOT BE THE ONLY HAM WHO HAS ASKED THIS QUESTION! I ASK AGAIN WHY A DOUBLE STANDARD? MY SECOND QUESTION, WHY ARRL WILL NOT RECOGNISE QSL CONFIRMATION FROM OTHER ELECTRONIC SITES WHEN CLEARLY THEIR CONFIRMATION PROCESS IS SUPERIOR TO ARRL'S PAPER QSL AWARDS CONFIRMTION PROCESS WHERE BOTH PARTIES IN THE QSO HAVE TO VERIFY THAT SAID QSO TOOK PLACE BEFORE BEING VALIDATED BY SAID ORGANIZATION LIKE EQSLOR QRP. IN A TIME WHEN ARRL IS LOSING MEEMBERS, IS IT PRUDENT TO DISINFRANCHISE SO MANY AMATEUR RADIO OPERATORS BY NOT ALLOWING THEIR CONFIRMED QSO'S TO COUNT TOWARDS ARRL AWARDS. WHAT KIND OF STATEMENT IS ARRL MAKING ABOUT THE WORLD WIDE AMATEUR RADIO COMMUNITY? "UNLESS YOUR AN ARRL MEMBER, YOU HAVE NO VALUE" I DON'T THINK THE ARRL WAS FOUNDED WITH ELITIST IDEOLOGY. I STRONGLY SUGGEST THE ARRL BOARD OF GOVERNERS AMEND THEIR VIEWS ON THE ACCEPTANCE OF OTHER ELECTRONIC LOGGING SYSTEMS AS MANY OTHER WORLD RADIO ORGANIZATIONS HAVE. WHEN THE ARRL EMBRACES THIS NEW VISION, I AND THOUSANDS MORE WILL JOIN "ARRL" AS PROUD MEMBERS. DE AB9QT, GILBERT A DANIEL III AB9QT Gilbert A. Daniel III

Eliminate all e-QSL awards May 28, 2008 11:28 PM

I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED WHY SOME STATIONS DO NOT(CAN NOT/WILL NOT)USE eQSL?? WITH THE COST OF FUEL GOING UP AND UP....HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE A POSTAL STAMP TO COST A DOLLAR?? IT COSTS 43 CENTS ALREADY....AND FUEL HAS DOUBLED IN THE LAST YEAR....IT WILL NOT BE LONG.................... LETS THINK GREEN HERE....NO FUEL TO HAVE YOUR eQSL CARD SENT AROUND THE WORLD....LET'S REDUCE OUR CARBON FOOT PRINT!..... IN MANY WAYS eQSL IS A PIONEER........WISH I HAD A COMPUTER IN 2000 THAT WOULD FIT IN MY 18 WHEELER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN USING eQSL A LOT SOONER!....... SO........... WHO CAN GIVE USE MORE REASONS WHY eQSL IS A GREAT WAY TO SEND QSL CARDS AROUND THE WORLD??? AB9QT Gilbert A. Daniel III

*********IT WOULD BE NICE IF MOBILE OPERATION WERE LOOKED AT!!************ I RUN A MOBILE PSK31 STATION (18 WHEELER) AND WOULD LIKE TO CONFIRM CONTACTS FOR ALL QSO. UNLIKE PORTABLE YOU CAN MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT FOR THAT LOCATION. BUT, WHEN I START MY DAY DRIVING IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND GO THROUGH NORTH CAROLINA, TENNESSEE, KENTUCKY AND FINISH DRIVING IN INDIANA, MAKING CONTACTS IN EACH STATE. HOW DO I MAKE GOOD ON THESE CONTACTS USING eQSL? I KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY MOBILE STATION.....SO ANYONE WANT TO GIVE ME SOME IDEAS????? WHEN THIS HURTLE IS OVER COME.......THEN COMES AWARDS.....LIKE COUNTY HUNTERS OR IN MY CASE I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON DXCC OUT OF THE 18 WHEELER (MOVING) MAKING CONTACTS AS THAT RARE DX STATION SHOWS ITSELF ON THE WATERFALL!!! MY E-MAIL ADDRESS IS GOOD AT QRZ IF YOU WANT TO RESPOND DIRECT.....73 AND GOOD DX-HUNTING! AB9QT Gilbert A. Daniel III |
