- Yes, I have it. Yes, checks are fine. No, if I had to have only
- one list, I'd have the GO list. There are a few European addrs
- that are correct in QSL Routes that aren't in the Callbook. I
- bought it because I believe that collecting routes is a service
- to the DX fraternity and people who do a good job of it ought to
- be supported. Yes, you can get all the route info you need from
- the local DX cluster without spending a dime. Any if everybody
- does that, the sources of information will dry up. Just one
- opinion.
