[amsat-bb] Fwd: Final email.

[Bruce]

oh boy.... i cannot tell you how many stations i have sent cards to over 
the past 25 years and have never received a card back. and a demand that 
if you don't send a card or reply to my email i am going public. really?

one station in particular is a foreign country. sent a card with irc, no 
reply. sent a card with irc and $1 and no reply. sent a card with irc 
and $5 and no reply. had someone going to iceland knock on his door and 
ask for a card, no he said. gave up with iceland on satellite. of 
course, that was back in ao-13/ao-40 days.

then there was a stateside station. sent me a qsl request but no 
envelope. this was before lotw. he bashed me on the bb saying that i was 
the most discourteous amsat member because this was the most cost 
effective way to exchange cards. he sends a card and pays postage to me 
and then i pay the postage back to him. that would be great if i needed 
another card from his state (which i don't). therefore, the most cost 
effective way for him to exchange cards was to cost me money.

now with lotw, i don't chase paper cards that much. well, don't chase 
any cards that much except hf honor roll... 7 more.
