LATEST INFORMATION
Current postal status due to COVID is available on my QRZ page.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!
I do not send QSL cards for FT8/JT65 QSO's on the HF bands. I will send cards for FT8/JT65 QSO's on 6m and above.
If your computer wants to get a QSL confirmation from my computer on the HF bands then it can get one through Logbook of the world or eQSL.
If you want to get a QSL card by working me using CW or SSB or old fashioned RTTY/PSK then I am more than willing to send you a card.
There is no official bureau in Bahrain. I occasionally receive some cards through the Amateur Radio Association but due to recent problems I regret that I no longer reply to cards sent via the bureau.
Direct QSL cards should be sent to:
David Smith
P.O. Box 1976,
Manama,
Bahrain.
Please include a return addressed envelope.
From 2017 return postage costs approximately $3.00.
IRC's and Japanese prepaid envelopes are not accepted by the Bahrain Post Office.
I also QSL via electronic cards with both The Logbook of the World ™ and eQSL ™.
Electronic QSL cards are uploaded immediately after every session. I do not delay.
I have issued five designs of QSL card:
The photograph for the above card was taken by a friend of mine, Jack Higbee whose brother is Steve, KD6JDM.
My eQSL card shows me in St. Andrews on a cold January day:
