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

Thoughts?

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?

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.

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 can assure you that in last decade, my HF contact with Panama was
rejected -- it was a CW QSO and the mode and RST were missing.

Maybe in the eye of the checker huh ????

It was rejected for lack of the MODE. That is mandatory. RST is not. The
ARRL rules are very clear on that.

Had a card marked

Mode CW
RST 59
Was rejected

Either something else was missing or you should have made a fuss about it.
RST is NOT required.
