Important: QSLs for the QSOs (all calls) from November 2016 to April 2017 should be out by the end of August 2017. Please be patient, it all takes time.

1. If you really need a paper QSL, request it directly with Pay Pal, not via the buro. When with PayPal, do not send your QSLs, a list of QSOs and your current address is all I need. My Pay Pal e-mail is ua4whx@udm.ru

Если Вы говорите по-русски, эти предложения распространяются и на Вас. Вы можете попробовать послать мне наклейки от пивных бутылок, конверты, фотографию Вашей собаки, но это Вам мало поможет. Можете поэкспериментировать.

Вы можете использовать вариант перевода на карту Сбербанка. Напишите мне и отвечу на какую.

2. Managing the QSLs of around a hundred calls that I own, is extremely time-consuming. When requesting your cards, please,  do it as it is explained below:

First country/call in the request = 3 USD, each country/call extra = + 1.5 USD. That also concerns direct requests paid with risky cash-in-the-envelope shipments with the difference in the formula that the first counrty/call in the request = 2 USD, the rest stays.

For example, you request SU9VB, RI0KV, E40VB, A25VB and CP4WHX, that translates into 9 USD (3 + 4 x 1.5). Please be fair and do not selfishly pressure me with the notion of the Ham Spirit. I do enough to deliver the  QSO and the QSLs to you. Do your part of the job as well.

3. If you want to send IRCs - ok. A single country/QSL request will require 2 IRCs. Each counrty/QSL extra will need one IRC more on top. For example, if you are requesting CP4WHX, SU9VB and 4W0VB, send 4 IRCs. IRCs need to be stamped on the left side by the post office of origin. No marks or stamps are allowed on the right hand side as this makes the IRC void and not valid anymore.

4. I do not refund payments for the QSOs not found in the log as processing your order is more than just looking you up, and it is totally time-consuming. If you think you are not sure if you had a QSO - then take no risk, request nothing. Having almost one million QSOs total in all of my logs, I normally do not pre-check QSOs in the logs for those who "are not sure".

5. I do not agree that LoTW is an assortment of QSLs. I want to see it as an open database where my database property rights are duly respected. I will immediately return to LoTW when

I have full access to my data there which includes:

a. unlimited editing; b. deleting any of my data if necessary.
