[Dx-qsl] ZL7C Chatham Islands DXpedition QSL Info.l

[Ken Holdom]

The Kermadec Dx Association wishes to announce the the blank QSL cards =
for the Chatham Islands DXpedition which took place in October 2002 =
arrived in New Zealand on the 27th January.  The cards were provided =
courtesy of Vertex Standard (formerly Yaesu, Japan) who have been one of =
our major sponsors for many years.

With the almost 5000 envelopes containing many thousands of QSO's =
received to date we have begun processing these cards and we expect this =
process to continue for approximately another 2 - 3 weeks.

We have already noticed that there is a significant number (in excess of =
100 to date) that do not contain Self Addressed Envelopes OR return =
postage.   These cards WILL be sent via the bureau with a suitable =
notation.

To those who sent more than the minimal number of IRC's or greenstamps =
we thank you for your support which will be used offset some of our =
expenses.

We hope to have all incoming cards answered within the next two weeks =
and we will be doing a BULK mail out by ECOMOMY POST on 1 March 2003.  =
Please be patient and await the arrival of your cards   If by the end of =
April you do not have your cards then may we suggest that this is an =
appropriate time to consider whether to send a 2nd request.

All second requests received before the 1 May will not be answered until =
all cards have been filed When filing is complete  a check will be made =
to see if the first requests have been answered.  As it will be some =
weeks after the 1st May before all our cards are sorted please do not =
ask if we have received your cards in the interim.

Incoming bureau cards along with those that did not include return =
addressed envelopes or return postage will be processed when time =
permits.=20

To all those who used our previous Wellington Addresses I cannot =
guarantee that we will have received your cards.

Please feel free to pass the above information on by whatever means to =
as many others as possible.

Finally, we have enjoyed your company to make ZL7C yet another very =
successfull Kermadec DX Association DXpedition.  With our three =
DXpeditions to date we have put in excess of 200,000 QSO's in the logs =
of many fellow hams and we are delighted to have provided new ones for =
some of you. =20

Please note that any replies to this message should be direct and not =
via the reflectors.

Kind Regards and good Dxing
