Confirmations for QSOs.

From my QRZ page - My policies on QSO Confirmations (and yes... I'm really nice about all of this!)

Confirmations

Point number one: I make it an absolute priority to confirm your QSO with me ASAP.

As soon as our QSO finishes, I usually make the request on the spot while I'm thinking of it if it is a QRZ member. I'm still figuring out all the other registeries and how to do requests there, but if you are not a QRZ member and want me to confirm, visit my web page and email me through the Contact Form.

I only recently began to do this since I'm new to the scene and I've seen some pretty interesting behaviors so far when I have requested confirmations. Most folks are pretty good about confirmations and then again, some don't see it the same way and are... interesting... to say the least. I am one who will make it a point to value your time with the QSOs we exchange and am fair and easygoing.

Point number two: I understand that records can be inaccurate in minor points and will work with you to correct a mistake either on my part or yours. Welcome to being Human ;>)

Point number three: I *will* tell you why I might reject a QSO confirmation if that ever occurs. I have noted that there are some occurances for records having been rejected without explanation when I request them after a QSO and I will put myself in your shoes if there is such an occurance for a confirmation you request of me.

I just think it's good manners and puts the best foot out to the community when correcting our logs. Also, I'm not the type to hold unrealistic expectations of down to the second times on the QSO. LoTW allows up to 30 minutes discrepency when matching the logs and I'm not going to reject a confirmation that is off by a reasonable amount. I've seen a lot of rejections that don't even carry a comment and that is just plain wrong to do. Put yourself in the other guy or gal's shoes and you'll make a lot of friends for a little extra effort.
