[Dx-qsl] QSL Rcvd: 3DA0ZO

[Dino Papas]

Similar experience here, however I did recently have several e-mail  
exchanges with Olli who ended up providing my card directly....it  
took 22 days from posting in Panama to delivery to my mail box here  
in Virginia.

I believe that Olli reliably returns QSLs for those he actually  
receives....Panama may very well be one of those countries where  
biting the bullet and using international registered, return-receipt  
requested mail may be the way to go based on my experience with  
Moldova and Cambodia.  Yep, it's pricey.....sending card = big bux;  
getting card = priceless!

Good Hunting!
