[Dx-qsl] My first DX CW QSO

[bikealot at rcn.com]

Hello,

I am a fairly new ham and have been working on my CW.  I 
have made about a total of 20 CW QSO's.  Today I finally did 
what I have been working towards...I had my first DX CW 
QSO!  It was with DK6AP.  I was a bit more nervous than I 
usually am when sending CW...but this is DX stuff is why I 
wanted to become a ham and learn CW.  

The only problem is that some knucklehead was tuning up 
when Werner was giving QSL instructions...and I did not ask for 
a repeat due to nervousness. and forgetfullness.  I was just 
concentrating on copying the next word.   I heard him mention 
QSL...but not the route.  I really want to QSL this guy!!!

On QRZ is his name and hometown...but no address.  I can find 
an address in one of the other on-line callbooks.    Is there a 
way to find preferred QSL routes for German amateurs?  I 
would like to QSL him direct if at all possible.  I want to hang 
that first CW DX QSL up on the wall!!

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am going to go try some more CW DX right now!!
