Required info on QSL ?
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? John K9RZZ |

Signal report is not required. For VUCC, the grid square is required in addition to the normal items. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
Signal report is not required. For VUCC, the grid square is required in
addition to the normal items. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE Yeah, I saw that you are allowed to write the grid square on the address side of the card in pencil, if it's not clearly marked on the info side of the card. As for the other comment ... what have YOU accomplished lately other than down a few beers??? jw K9RZZ |

In the past I have had HF cards rejected for lack of RST and dates.
I do not know if this applies to VHF cards or still applies to HF cards ? Best ask the local ARRL awards manager See awards managers for your locale at the ARRL pages At least you are receiving cards -- I sent out 142 6M cards for VUCC with SASE's and return rate is about 60 % And for WAS cards of the 48 I have worked -- still missing 2 cards -- sent with SASE over a year ago. Oh well work em again I guess. -- Lamont Cranston The Shadow Knows "J999w" wrote in message ...

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 ???? -- Lamont Cranston The Shadow Knows "Dee D. Flint" wrote in message ... "Da Shadow" wrote in message news:aqAJc.247$Wt5.96@lakeread01...

John K9RZZ 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. Dan/W4NTI |
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. -- Lamont Cranston The Shadow Knows "Dan/W4NTI" w4nti@get rid of this mindspring.com wrote in message nk.net...
