Hi,
	I have the same experience as Mika Makelainen: an e-mail follow-up gave
result and Dave Frantz told: "WE ARE WAY BEHIND ON  ON QSL'ING DUE TO
POLITICAL ATTACK SEEKING TO GET THIS STATION SHUT DOWN  ANYWAY I WILL SEND
YOU FULL QSL CARD ASAP".(In fact there was some kind of trouble with the
neighbors because WGTG broadcast religious programs of a "wrong" Church).
But guess if the QSL ever came? 
	I agree with John Wright: I have heard that many DXers 5 USD or more to
stations like this. I think we should agree to send a max 1 USD or 2 IRCs,
because it seems that many stations have found this an easy way to collect
some money. I guess they just reply to every 100th report to keep the money
coming!
