Has anyone received a card from this station for the November 2007 operation? If so how did you get it? I sent to the Panama address as instructed but cannot seem to get a response via mail or e-mail

Mike, no one is "jumping all over you". As has already been pointed out by someone else, one thing that is in your control is your license class. This expedition was announced several months ago, not
A bargain at twice the price. Larry K5RK K1N club log is now up. First QSO costs $6.00 USD. That's got to be the most expensive I have seen. Anyone top that one. I am not complaining! Doug "There are
