> 
> The Kermadec Dx Association wishes to announce that all QSL requests for
> our highly successful DXpedition to the Chatham Islands, ZL7C ,in
> October 2002 which were received as of Wednesday 26th February will be
> answered and dispatched through New Zealand Post on Friday 28 February
> 2003.  Please note that this does NOT include cards received via QSL
> Services and the like.  These will be mailed out at a later date when
> time permits.
>  
> Our mail out on 28 Feb. will consist of some 5100 plus envelopes which
> contain in excess of 19,200 QSOs and they will be mailed taking
> advantage of New Zealand Post's International ECONOMY rate, so we would
> ask that you please be patient and allow between 3 and 5 weeks for
> delivery.
>  
> Our processing team have completed this task in just over one month from
> the time we received our cards from our major sponsors, Vertex Standard,
> (formerly Yaesu of Japan) whom we thank very much for their ongoing
> sponsorship.  Our team have done a fantastic job in such a short period
> of time considering each member had work and travel commitments to work
> around.
>  
> To those of you who did not include sufficient postage OR a return Self
> addressed envelope with your requests these cards WILL go via the
> bureau.
>  
> To those who included other DXpedition cards with your ZL7C requests
> these will take a little longer to process and mailed out accordingly.
>  
> We would appreciate you all  NOT  posting messages to the various
> REFLECTORS  etc on receipt of your cards.  This only causes panic and
> high blood pressure levels amongst our community and prompts unnecessary
> emails to me.
>  
> I will begin processing incoming QSL information emails as of 1 May 2003
> when by which time you should have received your ZL7C cards.  At this
> date I will be in a position to check to see if your cards have actually
> arrived at my QTH.
>  
> We will also begin processing 2nd requests after this date.  Please if
> possible, avoid sending second requests until after the 1 May 2003.
> This gives us more time to spend on genuine 1st requests.
>  
> As I have mentioned in my earlier postings, cards that have been sent to
> my OLD Wellington addresses may not reach me and those who sent them to
> other addresses from pre 1989 call books etc I suggest you update your
> records  etc.  Those who NOW reside at the old addresses do not always
> appreciate mail for previous property owners especially after some 3
> years.
>  
> Please feel free to publish this email in full in any media format you
> consider appropriate.  The wider the coverage the less
> problems/complaints  we will receive.
>  
> Finally, we thank you all for participating in our DXpedition which as I
> mentioned earlier was a huge success and without your contacts this
> would not have been possible.   Yes we did have some fun and I hope that
> you all enjoyed the contacts that you made with us, all be it they were
> so brief.
>  
> To those who supported us, a big thank you and we hope that you will
> continue to support  DXpeditions in the future regardless of their size.
>  
> Kind regards and best wishes for the future and Good DXing.   Our HOBBY
> is still very much alive and well.
