I sent a card on February 29, 2009 for a qso on 18mhz CW on February 28, 2009 to V51AS via his maildrop address in Germany with 3$ and have had nothing since then. Time: 6.5 months. I have noticed many recently who are receiving theirs in scarcely 5 weeks or slightly more. Puzzling. Pat Scott, W4NW Athens, GA USA
