Biography

Thank you for looking up my page!

QSL info:
I'm a QSL card collector so I prefer Bureau or Direct.
Bureau: I post to SV Bureau once a year, usually inside the first quarter, for the QSOs made previous year. So far I send for all stations, based on QRZ page info about using Bureau or not.
If at the time was no info there, I always respond to any card I receive at my next shipment to Bureau.
My last shipment via bureau done on 25Sep2023 to cover QSLing for 2023 QSOs up to that date.
Some of them posted directly to Bureau offices as below:
9A, EA, F, HA, HB, I, OE, OH, OK, OM, PA, S5, SA, YL.
Direct: No $, €, IRCs etc, only a SAE will help me, and mistakes will be avoided as well.
Any station have not received my QSL card at reasonable time pse mail me. My response is a week time maximum.
LoTW-QRZ Logbook: I upload reguraly and not later than once a month.
eQSL: I do not use it.
SWL reports: I respond to every request received, but pse do not copy cluster spots!
