Re: [DX-CHAT] YU7GMN V51AS QSL's
I should have mentioned in my email re V51AS QSLing that I am aware that QRZ.com says to send only direct, but it has not always said that. It was modified this year.

Re: [DX-CHAT] YU7GMN V51AS QSL's
I have sent V51AS 5 QSL cards beween 12/99 and 3/02 without a reply. Most or all of these were likely sent via he bureau as I already have it confirmed for DXCC. I have 2 other contacts in 8/05 and 3/06 and I didn't send cards for these 40 and 80M contacts as I felt I was wasting my time.

Re: [DX-CHAT] YU7GMN V51AS QSL's
Hi Jerry, I never tried YU7GWN, but have received several QSLs from V51AS.
V51AS is a good QSLer.when he receives mail, so please don't blame him.
Unfortunately, as with much of Africa since the colonial powers left, countries
descended into chaos, corruption and theft (go to Nigeria, it's a way of life
there!). We see this in the mail theft that routinely happens with mail to
V51AS. Sadly this has happened across the whole continent - they're not all as
bad as Zimbabwe, but plenty are nearly there. Remember, $2 is often a weekly or
monthly wage in Africa and Western aid $$$ end up in the current dictator's
Swiss bank account.
If I can give any tips (they're old, well-known ones), it's
(1) Don't write callsigns or "amateur radio" etc on the envelope
(2) fold your green stamps inside your return envelope and make sure that this
in turn is folded so that the contents aren't visible even if the corners of
your envelope are lifted. Insert it opening down.
(3) If you've not got a dark coloured QSL card, shove some carbon paper in
there, so the contents aren't visible if it's held to the light
(4) try to fold the return envelope so it doesn't look like a return envelope -
this is a dead giveaway.
Following these, I have a pretty decent return rate from V51AS
I'd be surprised if there are such mail problems in Serbia, but YU7GMN is a
club station, so mail probably sits there for a while. They're probably more
interested in operating/antenna projects etc. Do you know which op you
worked? You could probably try him???
Whilst we're on the subject, has anyone received QSLs from XE1KK?
Hope this helps.
cheers
Dave G0OIL

Re: [DX-CHAT] YU7GMN V51AS QSL's
Jerry, I received my direct QSL from V51AS recently after a 10 month wait and second request to his German maildrop (re; qrz.com). It was kindly forwarded to me from another UK station to whom Frank had sent a bunch of cards for distribution to other operaters in addition to his own. Frank has a habit of distributing his cards this way, regardless of the fact that all the individual operaters probably, (like me), sent the correct payment/SAEs for direct replies? It relies on the kindness of the chosen recipient to do Frank's distribution for free! BTW you may get more info/advice from the Reflector dedicated to QSLing queries which is; dx-qsl at mailman.qth.net Good Luck Dave - Original Message - From: Jerry Rappel To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Sent: Saturday, November 15, 2008 5:19 AM Subject: [DX-CHAT] YU7GMN V51AS QSL's Has anyone received QSL's from YU7GWN, or V51AS?
