I got 1 from Luxemburg 1 yr. after sending in a reception report and I
thought that was long!

Today I received a QSL from Radio Tanzania. This was for a reception on
January 19, 1993! This in one month after a f/up report, v/s N.
Nyamwocha. I had enclosed $1.00 for return postage.

Am I reading this correctly? You've just now received a QSL for a

reception
report sent in 1993... as in, 10 years ago?

Dude!

What really intrigues me about the delay is how -- barring a surviving
recording -- the station could verify reception after 10 years. I
wonder if the verification was made but never mailed? Maybe someone
just stole the postage money charged against mailing it.
