Do not do business with W4MPY The QSL Man. This individual engages in low level stunts to solicit business by leaching addresses off of the FCC database of records. He sends out junk mail cards advertising his business. This unsolicited junk mail is an insult. First, the actual QSL card is nothing but an advertisement for their business. This form of stunt only serves to harm the ham radio community by dragging a purely commercial enterprise into a hobby.

To help stop this sort of inappropriate content, I have filed Postal form 1500 to stop the inappropriate mailings and have a Probibitory order issued aganst them.

What is a QSL card? It is a way for ham radio operators to confirm contacts they make on the air. For years it was proof for contests, and a ham shacks wallpaper. This guy just degrades it into the lowest form. And not by dealing with me, but by blindly mailing everyone regardless of age, religion, affiliation or choice. He just sends it to everyone with no sense of care for the receiver as a person.

To add insult to injury, they include on the card the web address and email address. If you have access to the Internet, and wanted to find this business, you can do so easily. Instead Wayne makes the decision to be on the low end of business and send out unsolicited junk mail. Do not do business with them as long as this policy continues.

Have a nice day.

Hmm 73 doesn’t fit…what is the short hand for fuck off?

Now, from the environmental stand point, ham radio is to help and serve in times of emergency and need. Not to abuse the planet with trash advertising to every name that crops up on a database. I was issued a technician, a general then a new call sign. Does he flood the landfill with three of these pieces of trash just for me alone?
