Vlad, UA4WHX says he is going back home – after almost 26 months and 310,000 QSOs from 21 DXCC entities. Callsigns used include 3DA0VB,4K0VB, 4L0B, 5H3VMB, 5H3VMB/3 (AF-075), 5H3VMB/5 (AF-074), 5R8VB, 5X1VB,
5Z4/UA4WHX, 5Z4/UA4WHX/P (AF-067), 5Z4BU, 7P8VB, 7Q7VB, 9J2VB, 9U0VB, 9X0VB, A25VB, C91VB, C91VB/4 (AF-103), C91VB/6 (AF-088), D20VB, D60VB, J20VB, OD5/UA4WHX, ST2KSS, ST2VB, V51VV, V51VV/P (AF-070), Z2/UA4WHX (see also the list available for download www.dailydx.com).His QSLling instructions are as follows:
1. Vlad accepts cards sent through the Russian QSL bureau, as well as bureau
shipments mailed directly from societies or organizations to his address
(Vladimir M. Bykov, P.O. Box 2040, Izhevsk, 426000, Russia). To keep track
and make certain nothing is missing when a big batch is on the way, it is
advisable to contact him (ua4whx@mail.ru).
2. He recommends sending requests direct rather than going via the bureau.
Cards will be arranged and replied to by senders, direct/bureau put
together. If there is enough postage, the bureau will join the direct
requests.
3. Please avoid sending cash, use IRCs instead (“I can technically send 7
pieces of QSLs with one IRC”, he says).
4. It is even possible to use credit cards (Visa or Master Card). “I will
keep records of the transaction together with your QSL requests”, Vlad
says. “The transaction is 100% secure and will be done electronically
through Svezhy Veter Travel Agency”.
5. Those who made multiple QSOs, can send only one card along with the QSO
list on a sheet of paper.
6. Vlad did not use a computer, and all QSOs are on paper logs. He will have
a few people to help help him with the QSLing. He will let everyone know
when the first cards are out.
