Romania Post Office Mail Problems

5 October 2016
YO stamp

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.

VK0EK features on QST cover!

9 September 2016

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.

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

VK0EK Recovered QSOs

6 September 2016

As promised, once we received the laptops back from Heard Island, we would reconcile all laptops with the master N1MM+ log, and more than 100 QSO’s have been recovered. We hope you were the lucky one – and if you have any questions – please contact our QSL Manager, Tim, M0URX:  https://vk0ek.org/qsl/

We would like to thank Pete, W6OP, and Mike, KJ4Z for their most excellent efforts finding and recovering these QSO’s. The majority were recovered from a failed laptop that did not sync with the N1MM+ Master log.

Recovered QSOs have been uploaded to OQRS http://www.m0urx.com/oqrs/logsearch.php

And they have also been uploaded to LoTW as well.
