[Dx-qsl] Has anyone received ?

[Tom Horton]

Hi Joe,
 
 I don't ever get concerned about a card until after about a year.
I never even send to  DXpeditions for at least 6 months after the 
event is finished. Rarely do they have the cards printed before then.
 Dxing is just like fishing...ya gotta be really patient...and if you don't 
get a strike after a reasonable length of time (everyone has their own defination)
then throw th ebaiy back out there.
Good luck! I'm sure they will show up ...sometime!

Thanks to all that replied, I have received a few others back that were all
sent at the same time and I guess they are the exception not the norm. I
will wait patiently for the others. 

Thank you

Joe, I think a little more patience may be required in this game . 
4-6 MONTHS, well, OK, maybe time to get nervous, but not weeks.

>ER1QQ sent direct with a new IRC

Depending on how you sent it, it may be back soon or never/buro. If you 
sent via his manager (ER1DAF), with sufficient postage, it may turn around 
fast. If you sent to Boris himself, well....I hope you're patient.

>RW2F sent to DK4VW at the Hamcall address

Takes a long time, but you will get it eventually. I received about 3 
envelopes from him just about when I thought it was a black hole for green 
stamps. Figure about 6-8 months. I got my cards from last year's CQWW-SSB 
in mid-April this year.

Never worked these three, but I'd suggest looking at both QRZ and Hamcall - 
I've found DX stations tend to update their QRZ.com entries more now than 
they did in the past, and sometimes just straight licensing data isn't 
correct. If you subscribe to the DX News reflector, you'll also get e-mail 
info from things like the 425 list, ARRL DX bulletins and the Ohio-Penn 
bulletin that give lots of contest routes (I've saved every one of them as 
a nice reference to bolster what I see on Pathfinder and the GO list).
