I received a small parcel of QSL cards from the VK5 inwards bureau. I enjoy receiving QSL cards and I usually have a quick scan to see what riches have arrived. T32C ‘takes the cake’ this time and I have written a separate post on this card.
Here I want to acknowledge the work of the inwards bureau. This service for VK5 (South Australia) is provided by one of the SA radio clubs: AREG or the Amateur Radio Experimenters Group Inc. The person behind all the work is VK5GR, Grant. I know from past practice that Grant has a small team to assist him in this task. Grant told the members a few days ago that he had mailed about 30 kilograms of cards through Australia Post to other SA Clubs and their members as well as AREG members. Thank you Grant. And I am pleased to be a member of AREG.
This card took 14 years to arrive at my QTH. I earned my credit for KIRITIMATI when the contact was confirmed as shown in the extract from my LOTW below! So the card is a bonus: four sides (the front shown below) sides two and three show information about the station and my four contacts and the last page has a number of photos of the Dxpedition members.
