Hi Mark
RNZI has received this reception report requesting a QSL. As you will see
the receiver was a Pentium 4 1.7 ghz. computer - I had a chuckle about it,
but the guy is quite serious. I would be interested to know from the amateur
community what they think?
My view is a QSL card was intended to acknowledge the expertise of an
operator of a short-wave radio in hearing a distant station. Surely clicking
on a URL does not count??????!!
Some may call me old fashioned, but I would appreciate feed-back on this
issue!
Cheers
Adrian
