Re: [IRCA] QSL??? DX test CFFX 960

["Mike Hawkins" <michael.d.hawkins@xxxxxxxxx>]

I can only speak for myself, but my log of KBBI in Homer, Alaska was
dismissed by the CE because he got the number of time zones different off by
one.  We corresponded by email, and he realized his mistake.  He verified it
by email, and I'm not the least bit dissatisfied with that.

I would assume that if you use the attitude in the email I'm replying to as
a means of educating a station on how they should respond to QSL requests,
you would not have to worry about getting any more in the future.....nobody
would.
