Hobby Work Publishing
DX hobby is familiar with those who collect QSL cards and letters in return for their own report of reception of a radio signal. QSLs; they are a window into the history of our odd but fascinating hobby. QSLs under false pretenses is dishonest and is bad for the hobby generally.
Italian DXers are practising the hobby like Bellabarba.
Ma qui non si sta discutendo di commercio esplicito di QSL originali, comprate e vendute al di fuori dell'hobby. I haven't sent reports for years but I can understand people fully involved in this side of the hobby. If he has no friends in the hobby, maybe he will go away. Las Vegas, NV DM26, NRC-AM via DXLD) Most county hunters use a QSL service which accumulates QSLs for one specific ham station and sends them in a group, enabling the mobile ham who worked the county to QSL by return to the county hunter bureau.I have purchased might have ended up in the trash or otherwise lost to radio hobbyists if they weren't sold to a collector such as myself.
QSL direct when they particularly need the county you've worked from, and most who do that send an SASE.QSL for a fake report, what is the value of QSL nowadays as a proof of reception happened? Instead of reports being interesting as in the olden days, stations find them nowadays being just irritating and causing extra work.
Neil; I totally agree with you that someone like Bellabarba ruins the hobby of QSLing. PhD student will come along someday and write a history of this hobby and the QSLs might be valuable sources. Like postage stamps, many QSL cards are works of art in their own right. The mobile stations don't want cards from the stations they work, and they don't want to foot the bill for printing tons of QSLs for their mobile operations.I haven't sent reports for years but I can understand people fully involved in this side of the hobby.
The problem with a Bellabarba in a hobby is that he destroys the hobby totally. I have a 66 year old brother that does not know what a QSL is even though he knows about my hobby. Per Bio la strada verso la musica tuttavia non è proprio immediata, egli frequenta l'Istituto Tecnico Commerciale di Ancona, poi trova impiego presso la Banca dell'Agricoltura e la musica rappresenta soltanto un hobby da coltivare, anche se scrive operette musicali e si diletta a suonare al pianoforte canzoni popolari, accompagnando cantanti d'epoca. Pavia he is awarded the Oscar Mondiale della Fisarmonica in recognition of his work. DXer to share any information that helps another hobbyist to get a QSL or catch a rare station. Edizioni Musicali Farfisa, making it a separate business and turning it into one of the major music publishing companies. Maybe it's better to talk a bit more about the hobby itself. It will also create much less work for you and your site will recover respect again. If it doesn't work, then let's try to figure out something more effective together. DXer to share any information that helps another hobbyist to get a QSL or catch a rare station. Anch'io non ci troverei nessuna soddisfazione nell'hobby di Bellabarba, chiaramente col radioascolto non ha nulla a che fare, se a lui gli garba così buon per lui; a dir la verità mi da più noia vedere certi ascolti di 2 minuti, magari di uno che sente una portante e via! Di quale utilità possono essere segnalazioni di QSL, tanto per dire, di stazioni FM australiane, oltre tutto palesemente fasulle? Anche perché la storia di Bellabarba inizia trent'anni fa, quando il radioascolto non era alla frutta, quindi questa obiezione non è fondata.Insomma, io sostengo che praticando l'hobby come meglio crede Bellabarba danneggi tutti gli altri, me compreso, perche' anche se non colleziono QSL la gente mi ride dietro quando segnalo stazioni difficili.
He can do it himself at once, stop publishing fake QSLs! If Bellabarba gets no publicity of what he is doing he will be tired and go into another business to continue his cheating.In Dec 2002 I redesigned my QSL info pages, they are now based upon an excel-work-sheet.
I also don't understand how it helps the hobbyists who'd like to see the QSL's.As far as I know, he lives in or near Bologna and enjoys this odd hobby of report faking together with his son.
Monferini should be totally ashamed of himself for not doing what it takes to try to drive Bellabarba totally out of the hobby. You make it very easy to say it gives you less work and that you are not the judge. The most popular works are for accordion and then guitar; after that the company's activities grow and take on works for piano, electronic organ flute and other musical instruments. Still working for the company he begins, along with Gervasio Marcosignori, to meet with accordion teachers and form music schools all over Italy uniting them under the banner Centro Didattico Musicale Italiana Farfisa - an institute which provides the schools with a uniform teaching method covering playing and technique. I know, his 'stage' at present is just PlayDX where Dario, deaf to everybody's pleas, goes on publishing the Qsl's from 'DXer Bellabarba' - and losing readers in the meantime.First he studies at the Commercial Institute of Ancona and then finds work at a local bank.
It publishes many of the most important works of Malocchi, Fugazza, Ferrari Trecate, Fancelli, Alfano, Liviabella and Piazolla.
Bellabarba is not the bad little boy to be made fun of and enjoyed for his antics, but a disgusting, blatant fraud who should be driven from the hobby once and for all.
