I'm QSL-manager for my own activities (DL6KVA, 4K0CW and older calls) and also those of Vlad, 4K9W (ex UD6DKW). QSLing 100% via DL-buerau ( "via DL6KVA" must be clearly written/printed on the card sent via the bureau as there is no 4K-bureau anymore). QSLs can be sent direct, too.
Currently for a direct reply (max to 20g per letter) following would be enough:
1 current valid IRC no matter to which country or
2 USD for a reply no matter to which country.
2. some information about myself:
Born in 1967 I got interested in ham radio in 1981. After a few (necessary by GDR-regulations) years of active SWLing I got my first licence in 1984 as Y37RA.
In 1987 I had to change my callsign to Y42DA due to a move to a different location. In 1992 once again my callsign was changed to DL6KVA due to the reunion of Germany.
I quickly found out that I like CW much more than SSB and became a 99,9% CW-OP. Today I'm QRV only on CW.
As the years went by I operated a few times from other countries as UD6D/Y42DA (1992), UD0/DL6KVA (1993), 4K0CW (1996,2003,2007,2009, 2012) and DL6KVA/6Y5 (1993).
Recent years took me mainly with the RK6YYA-team on RDA-expeditions to different regions of Russia:
10/2005 - RK6YYA/4/m through Volgograd (UA4A) region
06/2006 - RK6YYA/0/m from Chita (UA0U) through Amur (UA0J), Yevrey Autonomous region (UA0D), Chabarovsk (UA0C) to Primorsky kray (UA0L) and back to Chita
10/2006 - RK6YYA/4/m to Mordovia (UA4U)
06/2007 - RK6YYA/0/m to Yakutia (UA0Q)
07/2008 - RK6YYA/6/m to Dagestan (UA6W)
09/2008 - RK6YYA/6/m to Rostov (UA6L), Kalmykia (UA6I), Stavropol (UA6H)
09/2011 - R4/DL6KVA/P - some RDA-activity in Volgograd (UA4A) region
In 11/2011 I had the luck to take part in M/S contesting effort teaming up together with EA9LZ, HA1AG, HA3NU and N5KO as ED9M working from Ceuta.
In autumn 2012 I was part of the P29VCX / P29NI / P29VPB IOTA-team joining G3KHZ, SM6CVX, HB9BXE, K5WQG in activation of OC-103, OC-099, OC-069.
