[ADXA] Old cards coming in after recent mailings. Was hoping some would reply

[HamOP]

Sent out about 50 QSLs with SASE or $2/SAE about 3-4 months ago. Thought I would make a concerted effort to mail direct cards to some unconfirmed band/mode QSOs from YEARS ago. After sending initial QSLs years ago and nothing coming back, I assumed some were lost and that I would spend a few bucks to confirm a few more, if possible. One more attempt! :-)

Recently got QSLs from the late 1990s thru 2011, including AH4/AH7G Midway and SV7CFC. Fun seeing them come thru, some from family members who are QSLing with the original operator terminally ill or in a nursing home, etc. Couple came from deceased operator operations but some friend was assisting and had old logs in hand. One from a ham now living in the USA the past 2 years. Too many situations, but I tried to get a few cards in but will not spend the time again on something just going in a shoebox..  LOL  Just got a wild hair back in April. 

So far about 15 new ones to add to my current country 10 band total. With the max at 340 current countries (3400 possible 160-6m) I may not see 3000 confirmed before passing on. If we could throw in 2m, 222 and 432mc, I could help some. 😊   
Then there’s 60m and it’s 177 would put me over the 3000. For sum reason the ARRL is staying away from that situation that started July 3, 2003.. IIWII ☹
