> Hi Gang ...
>
> Just a short note in line with all the past chatter about the NINE-LAND
> BUREAU ... last week, I came home and found a BOX of bureau cards sitting
> on the little table out on the front porch ... it was taped up with
> scotch tape and there was no postage on it ... and there was a small
> stack of bureau QSLs also laying next to the box, so I assumed the box
> must have torn open in transit, and the mailman recognized them and has
> seen mail come to KA�GGI, thus the loose cards .... it was a mystery, but
> what a treat .... a BUNCH of new band countries confirmed, and a few new
> ones overall ( the box must be 5 pounds and have at least 1000+ cards in
> it .... I'm still going through them with Lindsey .... sort of a
> "geography" lesson, a little at a time in the evening after dinner !
>
> Well, I posted a note off to the ZERO BUREAU addressed to the " G "
> sorter, to thank him for stashing the cards for so long ... since
> AKSARBEN gave up the chore, I hadn't seen too many bureau cards, to say
> the least ... some of the QSLs are back from 1979 !

> HELLO Ka0GGI,

> just too full. You have a nice house and a great location. Have a good dx
> year.
