airmail report and 2 IRCs, follow-up via email, follow-up via fax, and
finally follow-up via airmail in Spanish with mint stamps. QSL arrived
21 days after follow-up with mint stamps. Also sent very nice Radio
Euskadi t-shirt, which, regrettably, is too small for me! LOL Heard
from Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan.
[sigh]. I remember when Mozambique had such a beautiful card. I still
treasure mine from the 70s. All things considered, this was a most
unsatisfying QSL, although I realize that Eng. Muchango did me a favor.
I honestly believe that had I not sent the follow-up via EMS to the
Director, where it probably got a lot of attention, it also would have
went unanswered.
Euskadi also used to have a very beautiful card back when they were
clandestine.. I guess I can reminisce all day for all the good it will
do me. :-)
At any rate, it looks like mint stamps have saved the day again.
I am ending this week a day early as I am off to Maryland to visit
friends and family. We shall see what the next week brings, but my
spirits are greatly lifted by this rash of outstanding QSLs.
