This is what happened in regards to the K2B cards! There was some big changes at the last minute to the structure of K2B. The manager left at the last minute, and so did some of the "Big Gun" operators! A restructuring had to be implamented at the last minute. QSL cards were at the bottom of the list. Once I found out about this we had to have some kind of a card to offer as crass it may have seemed! A print your own card on QRZ/K2B..
The cards for 2018 ran out quickly because they were remaining from 2017. The manager at the time did not order any more and no one knew about this. Remember, these cards are paid for by each state's volunteers. For this year I had to design the new K2B card and pay for them myself! Also, do you know how hard it is to get an operator to be the QSL card manager? HARD! Luckily W0MAN and Her husband volunteered to be the QSL card managers. They are not operators.
NOW, why did the manager quit? Because He was tired of getting QSL card requests with no SASE (And other reasons). The operators involved that He knew followed Him. He got QSL cards as postcards, incomplete data on the cards, and requests for cards for other K2 states! After a few years of this He just called it quits.
OK, my apologies! Some lost $1.10..I paid $160.00!! So K2B cards would be available for 2019! & I am not screaming about it. All is well now, but to those who say (Paraphrase) "I am not doing this event anymore"?? OK, You are not hurting the event what-so-ever!, you are just hurting yourselves, by missing out having some fun. As I write this, we are in the middle of the 2019 event. The participation is the largest I have ever seen in the 11 years we have been doing this! So many thanks to those who call in! Many thanks to those who volunteer, and violins to those who forgot to take their anger management pills. No one stiffed you on purpose, no one collected your stamps, and to those who think we are "Tainted"? It is only in your own head-can't change that, and won't try!
One poster complained about the certificate paper we use! After explaining it to Him, He posted back and basically thanked me for the explanation! THAT IS how it should be done-KUDOS! NOT fly off the handle and be insulting and berating. We are all people and we ALL screw up at times. So please chill out, be cool and whatever other salutations the millennials use! Now I feel better
