not if they want to use a QSL card properly they don't QSL cards are
to confirm contacts not express condiolneces

Oh?

Where is this established?

the arrl manual

Oh?

WHICH "arrl manual"...?!?!?

Volume? Edition? Page? Author?

Any FACTS to back this up?

qsl cards are acording the arrl website used to confirm contacts

Uh huh. They are. But YOU stated that this alleged "rule" was in
the "arrl manual". So in WHICH "arrl manual" does this proclaimation
exist?

Any place in ANY "arrl manual" that specifies a law that says an
QSL card can NOT be sued for ANY OTHER PURPOSE...?!?!

no laws govern qsl cards that I know of

So then your "argument" here is simply to impede those who might be
so predisposed as to send this guy (An NCT, by the way...) a greeting
and offer of best wishes.

BTW...KC8VKZ's QRZ listing showed almost 21,000 hits when I
looked. Seems a lot of other Amateurs are gearing up to send him a QSL
card, Markie.

perhaps they will send him greating cards or perhaps death threats I
would have no idea

"greating" cards? Cards that are better than others?

And Markie, ONLY YOU would make such an outlandish statement about
a fellow NCT'er who's laid up in a hospital bed.

You figure all 21,000 of them (20,998 if you don't count you and
I) don't know about this alleged reference of yours?

I have no coment on the subject

Obviously you do.

they may be curius to confirm there is ham by the name listed no reason
to assume they are going to do anything more than check the reference

And maybe they are going to send the guy a QSL card with some
words of encouragement....And according to "QRZ.COM", no small number
of them are sending funds. I get paid Friaday and will follow suit.
