[Dx-qsl] ER1QQ

[Guillermo Costello]

Fellow DX'ers, I'm curious what experience you may have had with trying to QSL this station.
 
A couple direct cards over the years for a qso in 2006 with ER1QQ  to mgr ER1DAF have been failures.
 
A couple of years ago, I was lucky to have a colleague from work travel to Moldova on business.  So I prepared mailings for that ER1QQ plus two other ER stations: an outer envelope (standard European size) that was plain white (domestic) with a return airmail envelope inside.  I asked my colleague to put Moldovan postage for my return sase's and mail the three locally in Chisinau.  No dollars were enclosed, just a pure sase.
 
 Well, two of the three sase's came back quickly with no problem.  The one that did not come back was ER1QQ.
 
Now I can buy the story about airmail being pilfered for dollars, but when a batch of sase's are mailed domestically with no hint of foreign origin and only one doesn't come back, I don't know what to think.
 
  Did his local post office pilfer a domestic envelope?  I doubt that, as the only expected gain would be a low value Moldovan stamp.  Would I be wrong to suspect that he got it but refused to reply because there were no dollars enclosed?  His posting on QRZ.com looks more like a commercial than a typical listing.
 
 There's knowledge on this reflector so I would like to hear your experiences.
