[Dx-qsl] [Fwd: [CQ-Contest] A fun QSL story

  One of our local club members, N6ALS, also received his VK9MR after 23 
years, and brought the card to the club meeting to show.

 Wonder if they found a lost cache?

I saw an envelope in our mail tonight in a pile on the counter. 
I recognized it as a QSL, so I picked it up to take it to the shack for 
later answering. 
That's when I noticed it had my old call on it, at first it didn't 
quite 
register. 
I said to my wife "That's odd, I haven't been N7ENU for about 11 years. 
Opened it up, and there are 2 cards in the envelope. It looks like it 
was 
mailed 
by WA2BFW, from Santa Ana, CA. on July 9, 2007 (Another coincidence - 
that 
is where I grew up.) 
1 card is for a contact with Mellish, VK9MR, 23 years ago! All time new 
confirmation for me. 
The other was also from 1984, a contact with VK2WU. That's when I 
noticed 
that the envelope 
was actually an SASE filled out by me, 23 years ago! 
I had to share. This reflector is my ham "community".
