Hi Alan, et al,
 That's why I'm concerned. A few of my fellow DXers are 
listed. All but one of those listed got their cards. The fellow who 
is listed but didn't get his cards yet is not concerned, and he 
shouldn't be. We all sent our cards via air mail within several days 
of them leaving the island. The last time their sponsor list was 
updated was 15 August, and my call is not there. That means that 
either they didn't get to my envelope yet. or that it got lost in the 
mail. In case it did get lost, I made an on-line donation and did 
the electronic QSL request about 10 days ago.
 All I want to see is my call listed with the other sponsors. I 
can wait for the physical card or the LoTW upload. I guess the 
problem is that I didn't donate electronically right off the bat. I 
don't like using my Credit Card via the Internet, but I caved in 
eventually. Hence I donated twice, and I am still waiting to at 
least get some sort of confirmation that they got one or both 
donations. The cards will come eventually, but having given them 
financial support, I'd like to be sure it won't be via the bureau in 
2-3 years time.
 This likely is just a case of them not having updated the web 
page in about a month . . .
