Please do Scott. I’ll bet he does NOT do LoTW and if so it would be about a year later. No ARRL rule against not doing LoTW except if an DXpedition supported by many clubs and individuals, etc. Then it is mandatory to do LoTW after a specific time given by the DXpedition. FY5KE is not a DXpedition, so doubt the guy does LoTW, just wants the money to offset card printing and postage but NO amount is given by the manager FL.. $3 should have been enuff. If he never got my SAE and $$ then he should have at least answered my 2 emails to that effect..
Stand by and lets see. Jay says he got a card… At least someone had a successful QSLing plan!!

Ha! I just emailed about an hour ago requesting a LOTW confirm for a CW QSO on March 7. I'll let you know if I hear back from him, San.

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