All direct QSLs received for HC2/SM0COPare mailed as of March 14, 2011.Bureau cards received will be sent via the Bureau. (Update March 17, 2011).

Info update December 6, 2010. I was QRV as HC2/SM0COP from time to time during the period of November 22 to December 4, 2010 from Nobol just north of Guayaquil at the QTH of HC2AQ Alberto. The reason for the SM0COP call was that it was picked up from the papers supplied for the HC-license application. The SM0COP is still valid but I use it seldom as I no longer live in the SM0-district. QSL cards will be printed soon and I will reply to all cards received either direct if postage is inluced or via the SSA QSL-Bureau. I was one of the operators at HD2M in the CQ WW Contest. Those QSL-cards are handled by SM6FKF.
