  • Pet peves

    From Rug Rat@1:135/250 to All on Sun Jan 4 17:57:08 2026
    What is your current list of Amateur Radio pet peves?

    My biggest one is operators not returning digital QSLs.

    In this day and age, there is no excuse! Most if not all digital log books automatically upload the contact to most of the QSL services. QRZ, LoTW, etc.

    Now if you live out in the middle of nowhere, or some such place I understand, however having non returned logged contacts in the US, Europe, Japan, Korea, etc.. There is no excuse!

    Second on this list are operators who only do one service but not the others. Come on, I uderstand we all have preferences but in the grand scheme of things, we are supporting each other. Not uploading to QRZ because you "Have to support the ARRL", is fine and dandy from your persepctive, but what about the rest of us?

    Nothing is more frustrating than thinking you just finished up a Worked-All-Whatever, only to discover that the other op is NEVER uploading to that logbook.
