Recently I have been receiving huge amounts of electronic QSL card requests from a number of different sources, or should I say I have received a so called “electronic QSL card” from a bot website. These sites have just harvested QRZ.com for emails and just send them out. I have at no point given my permission for this to happen, and I never will. And I can’t believe that the management at QRZ.com are allowing this to happen, but then the owners are wanting the income from the payments they must receive from these websites.
As these cards are worthless for any awards I am just not interested in them. If you need or want my confirmation then please read the QRZ.com profile and ask through the proper channels. If you send an electronic one it will never reach me as I have now started blocking the domains from where they come, so I guess somewhere there is a pile of these requests just in a file wasting bandwidth on some server somewhere. If you are a user of these services you need to look at what you are sending, especially to myself as these are just a waste of time and effort.
