Like Les, I worked FR0FLO many times in the early 1980's.  No matter
if it was IRCs or $$$, mailing "via France" and multiple mailings, I
received QSLs for only one of nine QSOs spread across what looks to
be four major contests and a couple non-contest QSOs.

Agreed!

Did you ever try bribery? - not money, but information difficult to obtain in Reunion.

Way back in the good old days, I needed FR0FLO to confirm Zone 39 on 40/75 SSB. With my QSL, I airmailed Herik the latest Yaesu, ICOM, and Kenwood HF catalogs. His QSL came back to me airmail direct in 10 days, with a nice letter of thanks.
