Well, the summer Es season is over, most likely, and it's time once again to
try to rein those reluctant rare-grid QSL cards. Anyone having the slightest
clue or info about any of the following stations is herewith earnestly
begged and cajoled to share same...

N4UE, EM80 -- my oldest -- worked Ron on 28 May 2004. E-mail bounced.
Snail-mail to FCC listed address bounced. Used to be very active, lots of
Google hits on his call, but none since QSO date. Public database searches +
snail-mail bounce suggest he probably isn't in Florida any more. This guy
has just vanished. Any clues from anybody???

W0LMB, EN13 -- Club station call; owner/operator is Ken, K7GCO. Worked Ken
on 31 May 2005. Have sent QSL+SASE+reverseQSL to both the club address and
direct to Ken. E-mail to k7gco at aol.com bounced. This guy is very well-known,
speaker at many hamfests, Dayton, etc. Was scheduled to speak at Dayton this
year. Anybody know if he did?

K7MT, DN46 -- Worked Bill on 31 May 2005. Sent QSL+SASE and 2nd
QSL+SASE+reverseQSL. E-mail to k7mt at mt.net did NOT bounce, but no response.
Bill is into APRS -- tons of APRS websites show him APRS-active right up to
present time. I'm looking at a message from him posted two hours ago. Don't
know how to contact him. Any APRS types on the board? I'm APRS-clueless.
Help!

K0PTK, DN82 -- Worked Ron on 1 June 2005. Sent QSL+SASE and 2nd
QSL+SASE+reverseQSL. E-mail to k0ptk at bbc.net, just sent tonight, hasn't yet
bounced. We'll see.

C6AIE, FL16 -- Worked John on 15 June 2005. QSL+SASE to WZ8D per his on-air
instruction and per his QRZ.com page. Have just been waiting, no follow-ups
yet. Anybody know when he is going to process QSLs? Very active, makes tons
of QSOs from C6 every year. Somebody should know something about this guy
and his QSL habits.

WA1JAS, FN55 -- Worked Mike on 15 June 2005 (CW). QSL+SASE, 2nd
QSL+SASE+reverseQSL. E-mails to mikewa1jas at juno.com bounce. This guy was
just spotted on the dxers.info board within the past week, so he's still
active. Works both SSB and CW on 6M.

That's it! Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

73,
Bill / W5WVO
