31FAT010 QSL Management - Policy

Hi Guys. Just writing a few words for all 11 meters community. Since long time I'm getting some OM's abusing of my charity... I've been reply to all qsl's from few years ago, with or without any kind of contribution or a simple SAE - Self Adress Envelope.

Once that i still request FAT Standard Contribution: SAE+1$ or SASE (SAE+IRC) or SAE+1€ and i reply until 2 qsl's with just 1 FAT Standard Contribution, i can't support anymore cards coming without nothing inside...

These condition it's just implicated to my Qsl Managements as FAT members that I'm Manager or others activities. Also very important that some FAT Activations are free or voluntary contribution you should send your SAE -  Self Address Envelope once that some cards are coming back because of bad address writing.

If you made qso with my simple call sign 31FAT010, your qsl it's welcome and for these you just need send SAE. For my personal call sign i don't request any $$$ or €€€.

All cards that i have in my hands received without FAT Standard Contribution for any of my Managements will be reply without stamp, so your card will be delivered to you but you will pay the post office tax on your country.

Other important subject it's writing my call sign on my address on envelope !!! 

PLEASE STOP DO THAT !!!

NO CALL SIGN WRITTEN ON ENVELOPE'S !!!

It's all for now guys see you under my log. Enjoy DX and let's work some NEW ONE'S !!!

NEW RADIO ERA...

Hello to everybody. Before write these text I really made a big reflection if I'm going to be understood or not, anyway it’s my opinion and my way to look about New Radio Era…


When new cycle (24) starts to give us a few more chances to work some good DX stations we start to see a lot of Non Senses activations on air…


Stations from European countries doing 15XX/DX or 31XX/DX and others and others… The only objective of these activations are requesting for $$$.

If you want to promote your group use your own callsign!!! Do you need a qsl from Portugal ask for a qsl exchanging… why pay 1 or 2 dollars for a qsl from an easy country???


Other Non Sense operation it’s what is called as 000 (Club Station), as the name say, Club Station It’s a Club operated by their members, minimum of 3 in my modest opinion and contribution in the past was always as free or voluntary. Now what we see??? Club Stations operated by one member from 1 or 2 years on air and asking for $$$... Please be shame on you… It’s these the correct way to promote a Dx Group???


This situation continues from few months ago and few friends of mine have the same opinion as me, THESE ISN’T THE CORRECT WAY DO RADIO…


I’m not against contributions, I’m against to that operators that are only on the air just to collect a few more $$$. Be shame on you and please do a favour to our 11 meter community, move your ass from your chair and do a Real DX for us…

Sorry for my words but some one have to say it, you can like or you can not like it…


P.S= IF YOU REALLY HAVE THE SAME OPINION AND VIEW AS ME PLEASE POST YOUR COMENT, IF NOT NO PROBLEM, WE LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY… VY 73.
