I've got a stack of VOA QSL's here. What's your problem? dxAce Michigan USA Hmmm... dxAce replied that he has received "a stack of VOA QSL's" in response to another poster mentioning that it was prohibited. Then you (David) replied that it's "illegal for a government to "trick the governed" ala "totalitarians". Exactly how does offering a reception report and requesting a QSL in return equate to "tricking" anyone? Exactly how does offering a reception report and requesting a QSL in return indicate a totalitarian form of government? Just so we have a point of reference for where your mind is at, do you find it particularly difficult to distinguish the difference between a mere reception report and the subsequent receipt of a QSL from a "video news release" or a "prepackaged news story"? If I were to request a QSL from a foreign language broadcaster (one I was not fluent in), would I have been "tricked by totalitarians" somehow - merely by offering a reception report and receiving a QSL in return? Thank you. dxAce Michigan USA |
