The Kermadec Dx Association wishes to announce the the blank QSL cards for
the Chatham Islands DXpedition which took place in October 2002 arrived in
New Zealand on the 27th January. The cards were provided courtesy of
Vertex Standard (formerly Yaesu, Japan) who have been one of our major
sponsors for many years.
With the almost 5000 envelopes containing many thousands of QSO's received
to date we have begun processing these cards and we expect this process to
continue for approximately another 2 - 3 weeks.
We have already noticed that there is a significant number (in excess of
100 to date) that do not contain Self Addressed Envelopes OR return
postage. These cards WILL be sent via the bureau with a suitable notation.
To those who sent more than the minimal number of IRC's or greenstamps we
thank you for your support which will be used offset some of our expenses.
We hope to have all incoming cards answered within the next two weeks and
we will be doing a BULK mail out by ECOMOMY POST on 1 March 2003. Please
be patient and await the arrival of your cards If by the end of April you
do not have your cards then may we suggest that this is an appropriate time
to consider whether to send a 2nd request.
All second requests received before the 1 May will not be answered until
all cards have been filed When filing is complete a check will be made to
see if the first requests have been answered. As it will be some weeks
after the 1st May before all our cards are sorted please do not ask if we
have received your cards in the interim.
Incoming bureau cards along with those that did not include return
addressed envelopes or return postage will be processed when time permits.
To all those who used our previous Wellington Addresses I cannot guarantee
that we will have received your cards.
Please feel free to pass the above information on by whatever means to as
many others as possible.
Finally, we have enjoyed your company to make ZL7C yet another very
successfull Kermadec DX Association DXpedition. With our three DXpeditions
to date we have put in excess of 200,000 QSO's in the logs of many fellow
hams and we are delighted to have provided new ones for some of you.
Please note that any replies to this message should be direct and not via
the reflectors.
Kind Regards and good Dxing
