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!
