Nice catch. *Are you going to QSL?

That was my question too, Jim - when you get these nice catches, do
you usually QSL them?

If I have not contacted them before, I do. Right now I have 2 cards
into Thailand, 1 into Hong Kong, 1 into Indonesia. I will let you know
if I get anything back.

Japan is best for QSL'ing. I have received many cards from hams there.
They spend the most money on QSL cards too. They send cards with
pictures of their girlfriends, cars, motorcycles.



I have tried a couple of hams - one from the Slovak Republic, one form
the Canary Islands during the contests in March - so far, no replies.
I even sent them return postage and envelopes...we'll see :-)

The XU7ACY is a contest station meaning he rents it out to other hams.
I think it was the station owner who was on that day. You see it
listed in the DX cluster as Kampuchea. This is the first time I have
actually heard him. Once the solar flux increases, this will be a good
target.

Oh yeah. Also waiting for a card from St. Helena Island. On the slow
boat from the South Atlantic....

Jim

Izzat St. Helena a ham card or the R. St. Helena annual event card?

I got me one already... :-)
