[Dx-qsl] Rcvd: VP5/K5CM... but then there's the rest of the story...

I had  something similar happen years ago --- about 1949-50.  A  domestic 
QSL card was addressed to Amateur Radio WØWET (my call then) 907 Fulton  
Street   South Dakota.  No city (they did not have zip codes  then).  It got to 
my mailbox ok.

(1) The  SASE had a $.37 stamp with another $.07 of additional postage 
added.
(2)  The SASE was addressed to my QTH of 2002 - and my original call.  And  
no
return address, but I can only assume (since we still live in the same  
town)
that someone at the Post Office recognized my name.  Good thing;  there was
not only no return address on the envelope, but none on the card  itself
either.
(3) The card itself was the "VQ5V" card from the 2004 CQ  WPX CW contest.
(4) There's no indication on the card itself which of the  five calls (the
contest call or the 4 operators) the QSO's  confirm.

Oh well.  At least it came.  I'd guess it must have  been sitting somewhere
forgotten or overlooked for the last 6-3/4  years!  

So it goes.

Does make me wonder how many cards in  similar situations end up in the Dead
Letter Office (or modern equivalent),  if not the circular file...
