QSL de Z21BB

More and more stations are QSLing via eQSL. And lately there are a lot that have a nice designed card. Like the QSL from Z21BB, Zimbabwe. If you like paper QSL, the eQSL site is for you as if needed you just print them out. A real advantage over LOTW.
Z21BB has W3HNK as QSL manager, I've been looking for his QSL policy but cannot find it, so I guess it's ok via QSL buro. The website of W3HNK can be found here.

Intrepid-DX Group bad QSL ideas

In a post on dxworld.net Paul N6PSE does propose a  way of QSLing that should lower the costs of QSLing for the forthcoming Intrepid-DX Group DX pedition. This is only a proposal of course but already there are a lot of people that disagree. I think this DX-group never heard about the QSL code of conduct. If they already think costs will become too large they shouldn't even think about another DX-pedition. Sorry guys, BAD idea. A QSL is the final courtesy of a QSO and should be FREE ! Promote your aid and support activities and try to get funding for it. If you don't have the money for a DX-pedition save some first before anouncing this kind of QSL proposal.

HK0NA OQRS Service


HK0NA Online QSL Request Service is how a proper DXpedition should QSL with the QSL Code Of Conduct in mind. They offer a free QSL card via the bureau and you can request them online. Of course someone that is not a member of a radio club or bureau has to wait till the logs are uploaded to LOTW.
