Bob,
When this first cropped up a few days ago, I heard from quite a few people
who are having trouble getting a card out of Hiro. A few implied (or flat
out stated their belief) that he's pocketing the IRC's and/or $'s for other
purposes.
All I can tell you, I followed his instructions as per his web site -- no
names on the address or return address -- and I used a 6x9 manilla envelope
(computer-generated QSL card I use is a touch too big for a #10 envelope)
with the flap taped shut. My card came back in about 10-11 weeks.
My suspicion is that a good percentage of the mail to him is being
permanently diverted before it ever reaches his hands. Perchance that is
why "no names" are requested on the envelopes; if the box is shared, maybe
the thieves are only diverting mail known to be going to Hiro.

Hi Pete,
Another question.. How did you get so lucky as to get a card from
XW0X?
I worked him on 5 Feb. 02 on 10 meters, SSB and also on 17 Feb. 02 on 10
meters,
CW. Both sent with the requested 2 IRC's, the later card also enclosing a
duplicate card for the 1st QSO. Nothing received in return yet.
If I get it, is it a "good contact"?
Also worked XW1HS on 10 in July and card was sent to E21EIC. Any
reports out there on these QSL's.
73,
Bob K2TK
