[SADXA] K7UGA QSL CARDS

[k7bhm]

        Gentlemen...........

        I wish to thank all of you who responded to my dilemma
        with the QSL Cards received which confirmed a QSO
        with the CADXA Club Special Event Station - K 7 U G A.

        Our Special Event Operations were in 2002, 2004, 2006 and
        the Armed Forces Day/Memorial Day of 2009.  Those
        Events resulted in over 25,500 QSO's........

        Upon the comment received from Jim-N7US; which asked
        if we had placed the logs onto the ARRL LoTW (which we had
        NOT), we did a little inquiry, and all 26,000 Q's are
        now on LoTW.  A big THANK YOU goes out to
        Mike - KC7V, and Mark - K7MTR, who did the leg-work 
        to get that done.

        There were only about 25-30 cards that were mailed as
        "Post Cards", so there were very few stamps available.
        All others (nearly 800) were received in an envelope
        with an SASE.  The outer envelopes were discarded
        when they were opened. (Oppsss...of those 800, there 
        were also over 75 received without an SASE or 
        sufficient postage!!! so CADXA picked up the return
        postage for those).

        Someone asked when the next Special Event Operation
        for K 7 U G A will take place.  Good Question!!!  The 
        Arizona Centennial will be February 14, 2012, so we 
        may do something close to that date.  Will be a decision
        of the CADXA Board.

        There were several good ideas what to do with the cards,
        and I will discuss a few options with the CADXA Board
        at its next meeting on the 27th of this month.

        Again...........thanks for your inputs.........all good
        responses..........
