[Moon] QSO or not?

[ok1dfc]

Hi Gerald, if the QSL confirm validity of QSO, I have only 60% of valid
QSOs, this is pity. I can send you list of stations, only EME, by which I
have send QSL (no only one time) always direct and without reply.

  As in cw, the final test of qso validity comes when QSL cards are sent. If
a qso is not in the log, then a card is not sent and there is no big
discussion that takes place.

  We all have received cards for qso's that did not happen for various
reasons, both cw and digital. When that happens, we deal with it and no
discussion, public or otherwise takes place.

  All the bickering over this JT65 vs cw qso validity has become an absolute
bore and it is way past time to put all this aside.

  Of the 500 plus users of 2m eme these days, all but a handful have
accepted the use and validity of JT65 on our eme bands. Perhaps this handful
of non-believers could rethink their objections and begin making some
positive contributions to the discussions.

    So, it seems that once again the "QSO Police" made a big
    noise over nothing ... and others made the noise louder and
    more unpleasant by adding their own irrelevant interpretations.

    Perhaps the most revealing sentence in the brief flurry of
    emails is this one:

    To all those who hunger for more activity on CW EME,
    especially on 144 MHz: it might make a big difference if
    your club seemed more friendly and welcoming to potential
    new members.  You seem to go out of your way to make it as
    unfriendly as possible.
