Let me know about Monaco and Swaziland if you hear anything back, not

BTW, Gregg, was there something in particular you wanted to know about
these two? *They *do* QSL, and the last Passport has addresses for
reception reports. *The Swaziland outlet even has a DX secretary :-)

No, just curious as to what they looked like and if they sent along
any extras. I know Monaco did but I forget what year.

When I got my TWR Bonaire QSL these 37 years ago (the classic Pink
Flamingo folded card), it came with a program schedule and a pennant
at the time. I don't recall anything else. We'll see!

Well, here we go again.

QSL - **NIGERIA, Voice of Nigeria, 15,120 kHz, 22 February 2010,
20:09z - 20:57z, "Zuma Rock, Abuja" (the same card they have offered
for many years) - my full name and address handwritten on back, with
printed space for full data, but NO DATA FILLED IN (sigh). I have no
idea if they even checked it - but this time, I am assuming this is a
valid QSL, 'cuz I know darn well I heard it! I filled the date and
freq in myself, just so I can remember in 20 years! Also stickers, in
an envelope with both the Lagos and Abuja addresses on it. Since I
sent the report to both addresses, ands the card has no signature on
it, I do not from which address it was sent. Se la vie. ~73 days.
