When we dedicate ourselves to DXing one of many aspects of our hobby, QSL is, how all we know the final courtesy of a QSO.
This is the belief of most of us but unfortunately it is not taken seriously by some.
As we go up in the "most wanted" table, the difficulties of getting the QSL in an inexpensive way go up.
Yes, I already know that they will say "I am in a rare entity, I receive tons of QSL´s that I don´t need and I can´t bear this cost" or "I don´t have time to answer all QSL requests" Yes, I agree, but then how about using Lotw?
This excuse is not serious, as none of the many excuses we see are serious.
Lotw is a valid way, upload the log we spend less than 5 minutes and it´s free.
To make things more fun, let's see the following video, all examples were found in several QRZ's.
Unfortunately there are entities that are in such a cartelized way that they act in a coordinated way, fortunately there are some cases where a black sheep stops that cartel and spoils their business.
Then there are those expeditions that, if you don't pay, you don't receive either QSL or confirmation on Lotw, however if you pay, you have both confirmations.
So, stop supporting these cartels, we all know which entities we are talking about, block each one of them until the day will come when an excellent sheep will cross your path.
After a QSO has to deal with Green Stamps, IRC´s, US dollars, € uros, Paypal, do not forget, the day will come when an excellent sheep will cross your path.
Fortunately, not everything is bad, there are excellent OMs in difficult entities that confirm your contact immediately, there are excellent expeditions that even if you cannot contribute, your contact is confirmed, after a few months, but it is guaranteed and you think that even after the small fortunes that these expedition groups have to support for you have a NEW ONE, yet they confirm contact with Lotw. In fact, not everything is bad.
If you have the chance, support only those who strive you to get another NEW ONE and not those who use NEW ONE as a product.
I already know excellent "sheep" as I call them with friendship and affection, as well as a database of black sheep, if you are having trouble finding any of them, I am available to help, without needing Green Stamps, IRC´s, US dollars, € uros, Paypal
