Colombia, all QSL
cards
(direct and bureau) for Luis, HK6PSG should be
sent to his QSL
manager,
EA5OL. [TNX HK6PSG]
QSL K1B (SSB) ---> "I completely understand the
problems that many of
you are
having getting the SSB K1B QSL cards", Roman
Thomas, RZ3AA
says.
"Unfortunately the mail situation in my country
certainly has
room for
improvement. In hindsight it was probably not a good
choice to use a
Russian
QSL address". Roman and Dave, K4SV (ex KW4DA, a K1B
team member)
have now
arranged for a QSL manager in North America to handle
K1B SSB QSL
cards. Send
your QSL card, plus SAE and return postage (SASE
for US stations)
(1 USD
preferred, 1 large IRC accepted) to K4YL (ex W4SMG):
Stephen M. Grose,
P.O.
Box 183, Flat Rock, North Carolina
28731-0183, USA
(e-mail
[email protected]). All cards will be processed
in the order
they are
received and depending on the demand, some delay
might result if
additional
cards have to be printed. Please note that this QSL
route is for
DIRECT SSB
CARDS ONLY: bureau cards still go to RZ3AA, while CW
and Digital
requests are
still to be sent to YT1AD. [TNX K4SV]

address is Kim Larson,
22 N
Hidden Acres Dr, Sioux City, IA 51108, USA. The logs
of both of these
active
stations, al well as QSL instructions,
can be found
at
http://www.qsl.net/n3sl/manager.htm [TNX N3SL]
QSL ZL7C ---> "Please be patient regarding the issue
of ZL7C QSL
cards", Ken
Holdom, ZL4HU says. The cards have been received and
Ken is working on
them.
Do not send 2nd QSL requests, as they cause further
delays in
processing.
QSL MANAGER OFFERED ---> Peppe Gerace, IZ8EBI is
willing to act as
a QSL
manager for one or more stations. His
web site is
