Hi gang,
It was a real pleasure to work many of you while at WP2Z last
week. Incredible pileups (did someone move WP2 to the top 50 most
wanted?). Anyway, glad to hand out the new one to many, and to say hi to
old friends. Had a great week, and I now see why WP2Z does great in the
contests....
While there, I spoke to Ron, the trustee of KP2D in St.
Thomas. It's a very active contest station, and I believe has been active
in many of the RTTY contests, etc. I've agreed to help them by serving as
QSL managers. I expect to receive logs in a week or two, and should be
able to process the QSLs soon thereafter. Please note, it's going to be a
slow few months coming up, as PW0T will take first priority, and the cards are
due this month. I will also be working the BQ9P pile as well....along with
trying to catch up on YA5T.
Please don't email me to see if you are in the log on
BQ9P...I'll not have the logs for a few weeks. I would rather prefer, for
ALL of the stations I manage, to have you submit your QSL request...and I'll
investigate. It's a bit annoying to tell a ham that they are not in the
log, and then have them submit the QSL asking the same question twice. Try
touching 80,000 or so QSOs each year.....and it gets old real quick
