[DX-CHAT] steppir

2006-07-22 Thread Jim Abercrombie

GA all,Yesterday I received a card direct from PY0S/PS7JN direct from Joca.  I had to resend after the problems dicussed here a few months ago.  I sent direct to his home address on QRZ at the end of May-pretty good turnaround time.  So, the route seems to be good.  I didn't use any special
