I received a couple of questions and a organizer request that I elaborate 
(on here) my post about K7C. So don't get mad at me for elaborating because 
I'm in the middle.

1. I sent the card with an SASE.

2. The QSL manager received the card.

3. When I saw that several >>New Englanders<< had cards, but mine had not 
arrived despite the fact I sent it earlier than recipients, I asked if mine 
had been sent.

4. I waited some more as asked; it did not show

5. The manager sent a replacement directly because he cares and had my card 
and seen my SASE

Anticipating this possible question next, no one knows me on this trip, so 
no one did me any friendly favors. The manager sent a replacement because he 
does his volunteer post the generous way.

I already have had a battle with the USPS. If you've ever been to Cape Cod, 
what the rest of us do off Cape makes the people here... nervous. Towers 
above 35 feet make them file suit. People have asked me what my mobile 
antenna is aftering donning tin foil hats and skulking toward my car crooked 
like, apparently to insure maximum distance (the latter is true).

But seriously, the staff thanked me for sending so much mail because it 
helped keep the PO off the chopping block (their words) then became... 
strange...nosey... when I kept sending mail. Make up your mind.

Others who have talked to me off group know this saga. They have shared 
similar, or identical stories as recent, direct, and / or quantity QSLers. 
These days you have to be careful what you say between politics, internet 
politics, ham radio politics and who doesn't back up who when something 
happens, yet reaps the benefits.

Since I have a degree in Political Science, my judgement tells me to stop 
there. I hope that's satisfactory, because I don't want to keep bothering 
people who don't care.
