VQ9ZZ Information: (8 May 2013)

All direct cards have been answered and are in the mail. LoTW is updated with the full log.

Next Buro mailing will be in June 2013. Bureau cards are being answered about 1 year after the QSO due to mailing and my answering schedule. If you want one faster, QSL direct.

Direct cards should be to the above address with at least TWO Greenstamps or IRC coupon and self-addressed envelope. All cards without a greenstamp or IRC will be returned via the bureau (each direct QSL card costs me $1.25 to mail). US stations should send a SASE. US station should not use the bureau

eQSL.cc log has been updated to my AG account thru 3/11.

LoTW TQ8 file has been uploaded that includes the whole log from 7/09 thru 8/11.
