QSL cards and QSLing in general.
A recent QSL Bureau shipment included a good number of interesting QSL cards. I worked A61ZX in the United Arab Emirates on 17M using FT8. It’s just my second card from the UAE. Although I’d worked Christmas Island once before, I was happy to get this card for a VK9XU QSO. Contact was made on […]
It had been a quiet couple of months of incoming QSL cards. But a couple of QSL Bureau envelopes came in with some interesting cards including one for a brand new country. I worked TO4A on the island of Martinique on 10M, 15M and 20M using CW during the ARRL DX Contest. All contacts were […]

I also received a nice card for 7P8EI in Lesotho from CW and SSB contacts 17M and 15M respectively. Strangely though, my scanner would not scan the card without a weird anomaly showing up […]
