R1BLH

A few words about me.

Main QTH is Saint-Petersburg.
First steps in amateur radio i made in my school (callisgn of our school station was UO4OXA, 1986-1988), my SWL callsign was  UO5-039-517.
Now i had got a some time to obtain the amateur license (R1BLH,  2022.06.01) after 34 years of QRT.

One of my interests is decentralizated noncommercial social networks (Fediverse). I prefer use them instead commercial social networks.
Main point of presense in Fediverse is @Michael [Кошак] Skolsky (my own Hubzilla instance, something like FB).

About QSL-cards.
Since my school days, paper QSL cards evoke warm feelings, so I am always happy to receive and send them. But the problem is that previously everything went through the bureau (at least back then, in Moldova), and now as QSL-mail goes, let's face it, as it happens. And electronic options have also brought progress.
So with QSLs, the story is like this:

• Electronic ones are always uploaded to
  • LotW
  • hamlog.online
  • qrz.com
  • clublog.org
  • hrdlog.net (ham365.net)
• Paper QSL
  • I always send them through the bureau
    • in responce to received QSL-card
    • if i have not receive an electronic confirmation at hamlog.online or LoTW within one month (this is the typical period of my visit to the local QSL-bureau)
    • I want a QSL-card in the collection
  • direct:
    • always sent in response to received direct QSL-card
    • I send QSL-card first only
      • if I really need confirmation, but there is no electronic or bureau option
      • or I want a QSL-card in the collection

QSL-card for QSO in the digi modes by default is only digital, that is, electronic. A paper QSL card is sent as a reply to a received paper QSL card, or it can be requested by OQRS.

At QORS is set up to request a card, if needed. I'll send it through:

• the bureau: without any questions,
• by direct mail for the compensation of the postage expences (price of an envelope with stamps). :)
