Algarve STAR DX Team announced that the 4W6AL QSL cards have arrived
from LZ3HI (printer). Direct requests will be answered very soon. All
4W6AL information can be found on:
7X0DX & 9M8DX QSL INFO UPDATE. Tom, SP5UAF, reports: "At the begining of November 1st, received 7X0DX and 9M8DX directs unanswered by late DL4DBR. As perhaps you remember Ted, DL4DBR, passed away at the begining of 2009 and during last months of his life he was not able to deal with QSL cards (basicaly callsigns 7X0DX and 9M8DX managed by him). Ted's wife, Renia, DL3DBR, was for some time too affected by the loss to prepare the package of unanswered QSLs. She tried many times but always started to cry. She sent me the package of unanswered direct QSLs at the beginning of November. Now all of them are answered and sent to recipients. However, there is a problem with cards sent via DL4DBR via the bureau. Ted, DL4DBR, had computer records but unfortunately all data was lost. So if anyone is still waiting for a bureau card, please re-send your card via the bureau via SP5UAF or send an e-mail request to my e-mail tom.sp5uaf@gmail.com or sp5uaf@sp5zcc.net ."
TF4X QSL ROUTE. Phil, G3SWH, informs OPDX that he has been appointed the QSL Manager for TF4X. There is already a log search facility on his Web site and any direct QSL requests already sent to TF4X will be forwarded to him.
