Default Namibia - V51AS QSL

Ah hah. That never occured to me. Well....I guess I can expect to go through
the same thing with this most recent QSL.
Oh well - better late than never.

4. Someone stole the money but your card still made it to Frank.

I have had this happen (not with V51AS).

I sent two or three QSLs direct and received replies via the buro. I can
only think of three reasons why this happened.

1. I sent one instead of two dollars to cover return postage.
2. Since his QSL card is oversized, the s.a.s.e. I sent was too small.
3. And I really hate to say this - he replied via the buro and pocketed
the
cash.

This isn't the only station I've seen do this. Has anyone else had a
similar
experience with this station?
I just recently sent a QSL to confirm an 80 meter QSO.

Anyone know the secret to getting a card from V51AS? I worked this guy
on
40 meters in February of 2004, 2005 and 2006. I've sent cards via the
bureau, via WF5E and direct with green stamps. I have yet to receive a
card
back. I've heard the Postal System in Namibia is known for pilfering
the
mails. Can Certified Mail be sent overseas? If you have Frank's card
how
did you do it?
