Getting QSL cards as much as 5 years after a QSO is not uncommon for cards coming through the QSL Bureau. However, one that arrived at the club last week was especially interesting. If anyone knows where these “Rip Van Winkle” cards sleep for as much as 13 years, please let me know. HI HI. I have emailed the OM in Canada and thought folks here might like to have a look:
To: Dragan, VE3FF
From: John, WA1ESOI am the QSL manager for SEMARA, W1AEC in Dartmouth, MA, USA.
I just received your QSL card dated April 4, 2015 through the QSL Bureau.
I will be sending you a QSL card on Monday direct to your QTH in Mississauga.
Many requests interest me, but yours really has me tickled.
The date of your 7 MHz QSO as listed on your card is June 23, 2002 (Field Day).
DID THIS CARD REALLY TAKE ALMOST 13 YEARS TO TRAVEL FROM CANADA TO US AT THE CLUB??? HI HI
