I worked the 7O operation just before Iraq invaded Kuwait. The QSL manager
was a member of the Kuwaiti
royal family which had to flee Kuwait. I had sent a QSL card but figured no
chance of getting a confirmation. Four years later I got the card.

waiting for Zone 26, 32 etc. on 80 meters. I have HR DXCC

I simply do not understand all the hoopla over using q signals on phone.
Almost every DX expedition uses QRZ
after completing a contact and individual DX ops do the same. That QSL and
