[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I sent out several reports in mid November and some nice responses have 
been arriving one by one.  Here's the tally so far
518 - JAPAN, I sent surface mail reports to four Japan Coast Guard 
Regions regarding their respective Navtex broadcasts.  Yokohama sent an 
e-mail thanking me for my report and apologizing for lack of QSLs, Moji 
sent a short polite non-QSL e-mail saying they won't confirm whether the 
report was correct or not, Naha sent a short e-mail QSL that was 
specific as to date and freq..   I'm still waiting for Otaru.
518 - GREENLAND, Aasiaat Radio sent QSL in about 2 weeks by surface mail 
for e-mail Navtex report.  QSL was a folded sheet of paper with photo of 
tx site on one side and QSL message on the other.  v/s Bo Mogensen, 
Trafikchef.  No return address on envelope, but report was sent to 
tele@xxxxxxx which I found on their website 
http://www.tele.gl/dk/Kystradio/GMDSS/index.htm  The site also lists a 
surface address Postboks 1002, 3900 Nuuk.
570 - CANADA, Whitehorse, CFWH sent friendly letter in about a month for 
surface report+CD.  v/s John Boivin, Program Mgr.  Also included 
medallion and a couple of small stickers.  I now have Yukon 100% QSLed
