The Circuit is in need of QSL cards!!!

QSL Card
Submitted by Leo, WA1HAM

This month's card comes to us from Leo, WA1HAM, formerly WA1ETX.  Leo worked Israel in June of 1996, as WA1ETX, and received a QSL promoting the Holyland Award. Leo did not get the Holyland Award but did get a  nice QSL card which promotes the award with a picture of the plaque.  The contest takes place in the month of April, although a Web search did not show any activity in the last two years so the contest may not longer exist.  To qualify for the plaque, North American stations must work 50 Holyland "areas" plus 13 regions.  "Areas" and "regions" are not defined  on the Web site which was last updated two years ago and with the  addition of the new DXCC Entity of Palestine, the "areas" and "regions" have probably been redefined.  The contest is sponsored by IARC, the  Israel Amateur Radio Club.
