Actually, the source of your confusion are your own erroneous
assumptions.

The end of URBONO broadcasts was widely publicized in the DX press -
both hardcopy and electronic. Nowhere in the original message did it
say that the special QSLs were for current broadcasts from any of the
stations which participated in that broadcasting effort. Also, URBONO
is referred to more than once in the original post in the past tense.
Given these facts, it's all pretty much a "no-brainer".

KH2AR is providing a much appreciated service to DXers by acting as the
QSL bureau for URBONO, and has spent lots of time and money (his own)
in arranging this.

Your response to him was rude and totally unnecessary.

Please let me clarify - the special QSL cards will only be issued for
the period during which United Radio Broadcasters of New Orleans was
actually in existence and in operation. This period runs from Sept. 2
through Nov. 4, 2005. The cards are not intended for current
receptions. My apologies for any confusion.

Well thanks! It would appear that the confusion is/was all on your part.

So?

And it didn't say they weren't.

is referred to more than once in the original post in the past tense.

Really?

That's nice, but for a great number of folks who had no idea that a 'special'
QSL was to be issued, we simply failed to take down any notes.

Nice to issue a special QSL long after the fact!


Your response to him was rude and totally unnecessary.

Actually it was not. His original post made NO MENTION what so ever of it being
for previous broadcasts. It sounded more as if it was a commemorative QSL for
some current reports.

Thanks anyway.

Next time let the boy cover his own ass rather than sending his sock puppet.

Then why did the boy apologize right up front?

"My apologies for any confusion".

He obviously knew that it just didn't look right.

Run along now, and as I said, let the boy handle his own stuff without sending
YOU, his sock puppet.

Thank you, DXAss, er ... ACE, and Good DX.

** U S A. Re URBONO QSL: Jim, can you clarify something? Are the
reports that are being requested only for reception of the listed
stations in the IMMEDIATE aftermath of the hurricanes, or are they
good for CURRENT loggings as well? (Randy Stewart, Battlefield MO,
IRCA via DXLD)

Good point - the period that URBONO operated ran from Sept. 2 through
Nov. 4, 2005 and the special QSLs are for that time period. The cards
are NOT intended to verify current loggings. Thanks Randy (Jim Pogue,
ibid.)

Guess I wasn't the only one! And you'll notice that Jim clarified the situation, as
it wasn't very clear what the original intent of the QSL'ing time period was, as
I've said before.
