In June 2017 i became a member of PY2AA QSL Bureau.

I will be answering all bureau QSLs requests twice in a year - probably in January and June.

Please be sure to write anywhere (visible) on your QSL card: QSL via PY2AA

For bureau QSL confirmations, you may need to wait at least a year or more to receive my QSL card in hands.

If you are in a hurry to get my confirmation, please do not use this method, instead, consider asking it via OQRS.
