Hi Everyone Here’s an update on some QSL’s received over the past few months, mainly from Japan, the Philippines and USA.
Definite highlights have been Tanzania and Armenia as they are new countries for me – so that’s pretty cool. I’ve pretty much slipped off the grid in terms of email discussions groups, etc as my laptop died a couple of weeks ago. Fortunately I backed just about everything up, so the loses were bearable. The bottom line is that now I don’t have the internet/email at home and the only time I access the internet/email is when I’m at work. I’m also starting to do more remote trips which means I’m out of the office a lot more. So if people have sent me emails and I haven’t responded don’t be offended, I just haven’t been around to read them, let alone reply. MW QSLS RECEIVED Armenia Trans World Radio, Gavar 1377 kHz.
