Some VHFers are not from the same cloth as HFers -- so may not realize the
importance of the items that conststitute a complete and proper QSl card.

I would send the cards back with a note outling the proper QSL info.

Folks can work hard and spend many hours trying for six meter contacts.
Worked All States on six meters is achievable but can be very difficult.
QSLing is especially important on six meters due to the goofy propagation
patterns.

I'm chasing my 6 meter WAS and VUCC and have been receiving quite a few

cards
with missing information ... no RST, no DATE, without my CALL !

From the ARRL site under DXCC rules it states:

4. Confirmation data for two-way communications must include the call

signs of
both stations, the Entity name as shown in the DXCC List, mode, and

date,
time
and band. Except as permitted in Rule 1, cross-mode contacts are not

permitted
for DXCC credits. Confirmations not containing all required information

may be
rejected.

Does a QSL require a RST report?

I've been sending them back with a SASE to be filled out.

Thoughts?

Without even the 'basic' information of Callsign, QTH (Grid for VHF/UHF)
date/time of qso and frequency (band) and mode....Then it is not a QSL.
QSL means to confirm. How can it be a confirmation without even the basic
info.

I would just trash it.
