QSL Info for EI7GL

Current QSL Status : All of the bureau cards have now been sent. So if you are waiting on a QSL card from me, it is on its way.
..............John, EI7GL (09/04/05)

Current QSL Status : I have cleared the backlog of HF QSL cards. So if you sent me a QSL for a HF contact, its on its way! Next step is to clear the backlog of VHF cards. I estimate there are about 400 cards.
..............John, EI7GL (13/03/05)

Current QSL Status : Backlog!! Every year, I usually have about 1,500 qso's which results in a steady stream of qsl cards from the buro. However, due to the excellent conditions during the peak of the solar cycle, dx-ing on 6m and the HF bands and contesting on the HF bands, I had nearly 7,000 qso's in 2000 and just over 3,000 qso's in 2001. The result is that I now have a huge backlog of cards from the buro!! If you have sent me a qsl via the buro, please be patient ;-), I will reply to all the buro cards that I have recieved.

If you have worked me on the bands then my callsign / QSL card may qualify you for some awards....

My QSL info............

If you have worked me and you would like a QSL card, please note the following...

  1. The contact must be in my logbook. If the contact was not complete, I do not log it.

  2. I QSL 100% to ALL Buro QSL cards recieved.

  3. If you would like to QSL direct, then please enclose $1 or 1 IRC. (Airmail Type)
    (Due to all the recent changes to the IRC, I would prefer if you could use $)

    4. My direct address is :

    John Desmond
    4 Rathmore Lawn
    South Douglas Road
    Cork City
    Rep. of Ireland

  4. Any direct QSL cards that I recieve that does NOT have $1 or 1 valid IRC enclosed are replied to via the buro.


NOTES

IRC'S
International Reply Coupons (IRC's) come in 2 types :

1. Surface IRC's which are useless.
2. Airmail IRC's which are OK. Look for the words "aerienne" or "lettre-avion" in the printed text on the front. There are 3 small boxes on the bottom of the front of the IRC. Only the box on the bottom LEFT hand side should be stamped, otherwise the IRC is invalid.

BURO
Expect a long delay, 1-2 years before you get a buro QSL card back. I often recieve buro cards here about 9 months after the QSO was made. Assuming that it takes as long for the card to go back, that makes a delay of 18 months.

By the way, I never cash in any of the IRC's or dollars that I recieve. I re-use them when I send off direct for DX QSLs that I need.



If you would like to send me an e-mail, my address is listed on the index page.
