Russian. Received 32 days after follow-up report. This station was
heard in Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan. V/s. Ms. Larisa Suarez of the
"Letters" program, who avers that they always promptly answer listeners'
letters and never received my first report. This is the 5th confirmed
victim of the Kandahar Army Post Office. I have dispatched an official
complaint letter to the APO Inspector General.
BRASIL, PPE, 10000, very friendly no data thank you letter in English in
37 days for report in Portuguese sent via airmail with 2 IRCs. V/s.
Ricardo Jose de Carvalho, Head of Time Service Division. Mr. de
Carvalho also sent a very nice brochure about the National Observatory
in Portuguese with an added comment in his letter that it would soon be
available in other languages as well. The letter gave technical details
of their equipment and transmission and a sticker/seal celebrating 180
years of the National Observatory was affixed.

heard on Kandahar Airfield.
USA KKOB (Albuquerque, NM) 770, returned report with a handwritten note
at the end asking if there was a problem with WABC NY (their sister
station co-channel), presumably because I was able to hear Albuquerque,
in 12 days for a first class stamp and English report sent via
first-class mail. I have written an email back explaining about nulls
that can be done with loops, although I am sure the CE is aware of
this. V/s. Bill Harris, Director of Engineering.
USA KSL (Salt Lake City, UT) 1160, f/d logo card in 10 days for English
report via first class and one first-class stamp as return postage.
V/s. John Dehnel, Chief Engineer.
Not too shabby a week! I am sure glad that a lot of my missing QSLs are
able to be recovered through the generosity and good graces of the
stations involved. It really means a lot.
