This year has seen many problems with letters to Romania not arriving. Mail theft or mail just destroyed? I do not know why, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to get QSL cards to Romania.

If you have requested a QSL from me that has not arrived be assured that ALL QSL cards are posted 100%. Please contact me with the details, I will do everything I can to get the QSL to you, but be aware that posting mail to Romania some mail is not getting through and this is beyond my control!

Just days after OY/ON6NB closed its log and the team flew back to Belgium, the QSL design was put together by Max, ON5UR, and is now in the print room. I would like to thank the team for their excellent collaboration in the QSL and OQRS side of the project. LoTW uploaded.

Many thanks to our professional photographer OY1OF Ólavur Frederiksen www.faroephoto.com for taking time to work with the team and allow us to use his image for this QSL design from Vágar Island, in the Faroe Islands, IOTA: EU-018, Grid Locator: IP62kb, WWFF: OZFF-0007.

The team would like to thank you all for working them on this DXpedition. QSL cards will be sent out in October.
QSL Via M0URX OQRS preferred

Great to see VK0EK DXpedition to Heard Island feature on the front cover of the October 2016 edition of QST magazine.

As QSL manager I was very proud to work with this team. The challenges of QSL duties on a major DXpedition are numerous, probably the most time consuming are researching busted call inquiries and monitoring the logs for any problems. Luckily i was able to work with some top IT guys on this project and it all went remarkably well.

You can of course still claim your VK0EK QSL card on our OQRS.

After just eight days since we sent the 5H1XX QSL design to the print room I am happy to confirm that 129 letters have been posted this morning. Many thanks to the fast work at ON5UR QSL Print Service.
279 Bureau cards have also been processed and ready for the next dispatch.

Of course you can still request your Direct or Bureau card on our OQRS service

Responsible Bureau QSL’ing
Please do not send us any QSL’s or replies through the bureau this is not required. It will however add extra work and costs. Please use OQRS only. Thank you

Thank you to Max ON5UR for the QSL design of the new 5H1XX, Tanzania, Zanzibar Island, AF-032 QSL card. The design will be in the print room in the morning and cards are expected here in about two weeks from now.
