[Dx-qsl] STop-by Expeditions

Mon Oct 21 13:53:00 2002

Got my Baker confirmation last week. There appears to
be no method to how QSLs come out. I got PW0T over a
month ago, while others needed that but had K1B and
VP6DI. I am still waiting on the VP6, though. Yours
should probably be here any day. I sent a SAE with
GS, and got several very nice cards, which had the
info filled out by hand rather than computer label. 
That has probably added to the delay.
I never did get my FR/F6KDF/T card from Tromelin, and
I sent 2 to them. Worked and confirmed FR5ZU/T on
RTTY, so gave up on the F6KDF card.
My all time worst experience has to be with 6Y5NR. I
worked him as 6Y5R/KP1 back in 1984 (or there abouts)
and never could get a card, or a not in log or
anything. Again, I was lucky to work another KP1, but
recently someone posted 6Y5NR's address, so I sent
him another card, as I would like a KP1 on 15 meters,
but I am not holding my breath.
