[Dx-qsl] I guess I should give up on Vlads qsls

[Bill Fikis]

          I  wouldn't  give up..  I  initially  sent  my  qsl  card(s)   in 
July 2007. I  went as far as
    sending  my   summary  of  contacts  and   IRC's  in a Tyvek   envelope.
    I   followed up  with an e-mail   some  months later.   I  received  a 
reply   that  my  envelope
     had been  received .      After  a long period of  waiting, In 
December  2008, I  contacted Vlad,  and received a discouraging reply that 
my  request  was either lost or had not been  received.
    I  started the process all over  e-mailing a summary  of  all contacts 
as well as a donation
  (  via PatPal)..    It  all paid off,  I  received all the qsl cards  this 
week  amounting to  81  qso's.
      Each  card is  different and  presents a picture of the area he was 
operating from,  as well as  being   hand written..

   (  I  must  add at  this  point,   Vlad  told me ...several  times the 
PayPal  donation is  not  necessary
     ..  I  guess I  kept after  him, he  finally ((I  think  to   shut me 
up)) relented,  and  said  do  what  you want to do..)
                                   I  would  contact him again.
