Just draw something up on your computer, the       way you'd design a QSL for your own station, fill it out as if it was a       card from the other guy, then mail it to him w/SASE & ask him to sign &       return if it's accurate. That's how I got my first QSL from California       on 6.              But some people simply do not QSL. (I think others don't reply at all       if their log indicates you did not, in fact, QSO. One would *hope* they       would write "not in log" on your card & return it.)              I would have to concur that 6m return rates are not very good.              Caveat: I forget, what's your callsign? I worked the June contest last       year from the mobile on the way to Wisconsin, and made a fair number of       QSOs from Kentucky. If you worked me, the fact that QRZ.com says I'm in       Tennessee doesn't necessarily mean you worked Tennessee. That operation       is also in LOTW.              My only 6m capability, in fact, is mobile. It takes about a half-hour       to get across the state line from here. If it were 40 meters, I'd be       delighted to run a sked - but of course on 6, the chances a sked would       work at any predetermined time are not very good!              --       Doug Smith W9WI       Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66       http://www.w9wi.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
