[ADXA] Anyone have a problem with getting an FY5KE QSL via FY1FL in Fr. Guiana ???

[Jay Bromley]

Hi San, 

Yes I got the QSL card via FY1FL.  If my notes are correct, I got the confirmation via that manager as far back as September 26, 1996 under my old callsign of KA5DGH.  Those look to be on 15m and 20m SSB.  During those times I am sure I sent $3 and provided the usual air-mail return envelope.  

 

My last confirmation for FY5KE was on November 28, 2020 via LOTW.  That contact was on 10m CW BTW.

   I have been trying since 2 years ago (March 15, 2020) to get 3-4 FY5KE QSOs including one on 60m CW confirmed. I sent two QSL requests through FY1YL with an SAE and $3 each time and also sent some old canceled stamps to him for his daughter’s collection. Sent the FY1FL two emails the past year or so and NO replies.

   The QRZ.com does not give any valid info updates on the FY5KE or FY1FL (the QSL manager) as to how much money to send, an SAE or not, and there is no way to get QSO log confirmations like thru Club Log and then QSLing by Pay Pal..  All it says is NO Buro cards sent after 2013 and NO FT8 mode QSOs, and if so then you worked a pirate. 

   Anyone in the  ADXA that has tried to get a QSL? If so what did you send to the manager and how long did it take to get a card back? Any way of proving your request got thru the postal system to FY land? 

 Thanks for any info that our ADXA members might need if they are seeking an FY5KE QSL.  73,

San YY
