MD0CCE has been QRV since Nov 2006.
LOG SEARCH: (Thanks to Michael, G7VJR!)
MD0CCE QSL INFO: I answer all QSLs received, quickly when I am home but there are delays when I am travelling.
US Stations: Please show your COUNTY on your card - Thanks!
If you are sending a stamped envelope - thanks! but please note that UK stamps DO NOT WORK (and US stamps certainly do not work!) for the Isle of Man! We have our own stamps (and our own money, and our own government, and - - - -)
QSL via LOTW, Bureau or Direct. For a direct return, please send a self-addressed envelope with:
-
Isle of Man stamps (73p - Europe, £1.19 - rest of world after post rate increase on 2 April 2013) - OR -
-
one IRC - OR -
-
$1 US Dollar to Europe or $2 US to outside of Europe to help cover postage (postage to EU = $1.10; postage to USA/JA/VK = $1.79)
All direct cards are answered promptly, usually within a day or two when I am home. Cards received from the QSL bureau are processed as received, but not always immediately as they are usually delivered more than 1,000 at a time, and I do them by hand.
