Hahaha enough funny....
I was doing my painful QSL replies duty.
I get pretty irritated when "om' send me QSL and do not follow my requests here on qrz.com.
I even get more irritated for QSO that did not happen.
Just got 2 QSL cards from Belgian fellows to whom I could not attribute any qso. At the end, I gather all "no qso qsl", and found out that (although I was not anymore on the air...), that they were both from same day, hour, minute (!!) and city (!!). No SWL mentioned.
That is top idiot.

I'm sure that not every single DX chaser would be on this site to see whatever your instructions may be. I've never even looked past the site's message boards and practice tests.

Well, you do not need to know qrz.com to know that
no qso=no qsl
for where to look for my infos, they have to ask, in which case I always refer to qrz.com. If they go to grab infos somewhere else that I did not keyed in or mentioned, that is their entire problem. This actually also quite often happens. But still, the point here was 2 qsl same city same time for qso I never got.

I understand your position. Of course, no QSO, no QSL. It is a shame people try to do this to the DX operator. Perhaps we will work each other some day, but I have no HF antenna up at the moment.

My favorite one was the Idiot who asked for a QSL for our 'DX' contact on Echolink!

I've actually responded several times to this in the IRLP world because it was always from a NCT and I wanted to share the magic of DX exchanges.

You shared a DX contact made on an internet exchange and QSL'd it? What magic is there when the thing is going over internet and not RF? What skill is being used?
If you're handing out QSLs for internet contacts, send me one.

FOR THOSE WHO WANT QSL CARDS FROM DX STATIONS:
It is a good idea to check both QRZ.com and Buck for QSL info for the DX station. You will be amazed how many stations have QSL info/QSL managers that they did not mention in their contact with you. Also the "Get Callsign" box for any given station could list all kinds of neat stuff for station; email address, websites, bios, etc.

http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif
no, this was not the case, as indeed I was on the air some minutes earlier and got plenties of European stations, and even after QRT, I still like to hear the people continuing to call for some time http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif . No other xv2ps or qso.
Anyhow, even with another station "xv2ps", these moronic qslers would not be able to have a qso within the same minute. Actually, they even seem to use the same logging software (you know, the sticker with all qso's details).
I am even thinking this would be a nice article in the Belgian Ham news magazine http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
YDYOET MAURAUN!I'll maybe send them an email to laugh.

Trash the bogus cards it's as simple as that. But, remember Some SWL's do send outcards so, They must have copied you Right.?

As I wrote, no SWL mentioned, and I was QRT for couple of minutes.
