[Dx-qsl] card rcvd yesterday, and more...

[Patrick STODDARD]

Hi!

One card for me in the mailbox yesterday...

L53EA   (10m SSB QSO on 2002-11-30), mailed to QRZ.com address with
         SAE/$ in December 2002.  I think I might have mailed another
         card to him late in 2003 (also with SAE/$ - I didn't have my
         stash of Argentine stamps at that point to send an SASE), after
         going a year with no response to my initial request.  Received
         yesterday in another envelope postmarked from Salt Lake City UT
         on 2004-08-06.  This was my only QSO from 2002 with a station
         using the L5 prefix, so "muchas gracias" Alex for the new
         prefix.

I also received a large envelope from Diego LU8ADX/AY8A yesterday, with
36 other envelopes inside.  He is answering a bunch of QSLs he received
directly, but didn't want to pay the obscene postage rates to mail all
of them from Argentina.  Most of the 36 envelopes are going to stateside
addresses, one to Canada, and the rest to a few other countries (HC, I,
JA, ON, PY, SM, SP).  Those envelopes were dropped off at a nearby post
office this morning.

Please note that I am not the QSL manager for LU8ADX or AY8A.  His
addresses for both calls on QRZ.com are correct, or you can use the
bureau (via LU8ADX) for cards going to either of his calls.  Diego is
a good friend of mine, I'm helping him with his postal chores, mailing
all those envelopes from somewhere with better rates for postage and a
more-reliable postal system.

73!
