Hello All,
It's been a long time since I have had anything to report. The well has
been essentially dry, and I have been corresponding via registered
airmail as well as talking with several consulates about retrieving
outstanding QSLs.
COLOMBIA, Radio Alcaravan , 5910, full data card and assorted stickers
in 280 days for Spanish airmail report with 2 IRCs and follow-up in
spanish via registered airmail with US $5.00. QSL received 37 days
after follow-up. V/s. Rafael Rodriguez R., QSL Manager. Rafael did
send me a very nice and polite email when he got the follow-up, stating
that he never received the original.
IRELAND, Shannon Aeradio, 8957, full data folder card in 275 days for
initial online report via their form, and finally follow-up in English
via registered email with US $5.00 (returned). V/s Joe Ryan, Watch
Manager, who promised to look into why the reports submitted online were
not being brought to his attention. Joe also sent some station material
concerning their broadcasts.
Still many outstanding QSLs that I am following up on. This is becoming
an expensive hobby for those of us who like the tangible QSLs.
I have not had much time for listening. Work has been all consuming,
along with a short stay in the VA hospital in Wilkes-Barre to remove
some long-troublesome shrapnel. I am hoping to spruce up antennas and
get back into the swing of things for this autumn/winter's DX season.
73 to all!
