Re: [HCDX] Seeking Srilanka

You should try using Registered Mail. I think there is a high risk of loss through
the postal system in many Asian countries, for parcels that appear to contain
valuable items. One amateur op, 4S7NE, who lives near the Colombo airport, recommends
this when sending QSL cards. Details at  www.qrz.com/db/4s7ne  

I worked vu7nro in 2008 (expedition to Lakshadweep islands) and 2 letters by ordinary
air weren't answered, I then sent a card by registered mail, which was answered.

The last registered air letter to Asia I sent cost me $10.80 US. In March 2009, my reply from 4s7ne
by ordinary air came with a LKR Rs. 50 stamp (now 45 cents USD) and got here in 12 days.
I had purchased that stamp from a DX stamp service.

This is a welcome occurrence here ; however my problem has been extracting a QSL from them. Each year I send off a report only to wait in vain. Six or seven reports over the last few years have all gone unanswered. I appeal to anyone who may have some inside information that I might use to rectify this situation. Any tips would be most appreciated.
