On 6 Sept I posted my comments regarding the problems of receiving QSL cards
from ER land. This was after a rather lengthy thread on this subject. I
stated that I had worked 5 ER stations and never received a card. I even
identified who they were. Since then I received two cards within the past
two days and I feel compelled to set the record straight. So I'm posting
this to let everyone know that I received a card from ER1QQ via the bureau
for a QSO on 11 Sep 01, and also one direct from ER7HQ for a QSO on 14 July
02. I cannot determine if the ER1QQ card was in response to receiving my
card or not, but the ER7HQ definitely was. I don't know if this information
sheds any light on this matter, but there is a lesson in it for me.

[DX-CHAT] ER4DX

2002-09-06 Thread Frank Macklin

Thanks to all those who replied to my query.  It appears that some have been
lucky but most are still waiting.   I have sent a card through the bureau to
see if this has any luck.  The trouble is it will be a couple of years
before I get a result.

I must lead a charmed life, the 4th of October last I sent cards for 
three QSOs on three different bands to Val, ER1DA, direct with an SAE 
and a couple of GS. On November 5 I received his QSLs in return.

I have also exchanged cards via bureau with ER1LW for a QSO in March 
2000. I received that card 29 July this year.

Hope this helps.

Hello Jay and Frank.

In March 2000 I worked Val, ER1DA and Willy ER4DX on 20m phone just 2 minutes 
apart. Sent both a card and got one back from ER1DA. I didn't check to see 
how long it took but I recommend trying to catch Val. I do have an email 
address for Val if you would like to have it. Not sure its still good.

The problem, as has been mentioned before on this and other reflectors, is
that a significant percentage of active amateurs in Moldova are not getting
the mail in the first place... it is being intercepted somewhere enroute.

Griping here won't change that.  While I heartily agree that any and/or all
of these stations could use a sure manager to help us out, if they are so
inclined to do so, you need to suggest that to them directly.  Meantime, I'd
suggest sending cards via the bureau, and note on them that this is a 2nd or
3rd request as the others went direct.  (That's assuming that there is a
working bureau in ER right now, something I don't know)

I'd suggest contacting Joe W3HNK.  He seems to have an almost-magical
"pipeline" in & out of Russia for QSL'ing stations when direct fails due to,
shall we say, "intercepts."

I don't know if he could help out with the Moldovian stations, so I'd
suggest dropping an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] first.  Can't hurt to ask...

I'm with Jay on this one.  There are a few ER stations that have managers,
most in EU.  However, the stations with EU managers don't frequent the

I've worked several ER stations with ER addresses and former Soviet state

GA Bill -

Consider yourself as one of the lucky ones.

I have worked him (them) at least 4 times and have tried different
approaches/routes.  I will wait for a more reliable station to come
up on the bands.

I don't need him for a "new one" for any particular mode...Just
want a courtesy QSL.

Vasily does have an email address:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'd be curious to see if he will respond to email.
