UN6P from Kazakhstan, Bolishoe Spasibo!

This is a QSL card from UN6P station in Kazakhstan.

I had a QSO with UN6P station on October 17, 2009 on the band of 40m in the JARTS RTTY DX Contest at home by RTTY mode.
Because I use an ineffective vertical antenna set on the balcony, I didn't believe that I succeeded in QSOs with Central Asian station.

UN6P station is operated by Mr. Yury, on the right on the picture. They are cousin??

Kazakhstan is a large nation in Central Asia which was independent of the former Soviet Union in 1991. I guess there are many active amateur radio stations in Kazakhstan because I have already had another QSO with Kazakh station.
But many station in Kazakhstan reccomend us to change QSL cards directly because they say QSL bureau of Kazakhstan Federation almost doesn't work well.

LO2F from Argentina, Muchs Gracias!

This is a QSL card from LO2F, Argentina.

I had a QSO with LO2F station on November 15, 2009 on the band of 15m in the JIDX Contest. I had QSOs with 5 other Argentina stations in this contest. When I succeeded in QSO with Argentina for the first time in the previous contest I was very excited. But now I didn't feel impossible to have QSOs with stations in the opposite side of the globe.

LO2F is LU1FAM's another callsign for contests. LU1FAM is a person sitting on the right on this card. These three men are participants in WRTC 2002 as representative of Argentina. He looks very young but I imagine he is a true DXer!

Muchas Gracias FB QSL!

UA0DAM from Far East Russia, Bolishoe Spasibo!

This is a QSL card from UA0DAM station in Obluch'e, Far East Russia.

I had a QSO with UA0DAM on July 26, 2009 on the band of 15m in the RSGB IOTA Contest.

He sent me not only QSL card but also Christamas & New Year card with message in Russian, English and Japanese. I'm very happy to read a warm message.

Because I speak Russian, I often send Russian stations a handwriting message in Russian with QSL card. Many stations send me back a short message or letter in Russian in reply. It is a great pleasure to have exchange out of radio world.

In addition RDA(Russian Districts Award) code is written on almost of QSL cards delivered from Russia. I also check RDA code every time I accept QSL card from Russia. I collect RDA for award.

The 4th QSL card from VR2009EAG, a special station commemorating the East Asian Games in Hong Kong

I got QSL card from VR2009EAG, a special station commemorating the East Asian Games in Hong Kong again.

This is the 4th confirmed QSL from VR2009EAG station. I had a QSO on November 22, 2009 on the band of 17m in Hiroshima as JO3PSJ/4. Because QSO on 17m was the first, I requested QSL manager Mr. Charlie a card. I established 3 bands QSO with VR2009EAG.

The East Asian Games took place on December in Hong Kong and many Japanese athletes participated it as a member of East Asian nations.

VR2009EAG already closed after the close of games. Maybe many stations including our JA stations realized QSO with special station.

Two Mongolian stations JV1A and JT1T, TNX FR FB QSL!

I received QSL cards from two Mongolian stations.

These are QSL cards from JV1A(Up) and JT1T(Down).

The other card, a photo of a person who is riding a horse(JV1A??), is from JV1A station. This station is in Ulan Baatar, the capital city of Mongolia, and he lives in USA now. I had a QSO with him on November 15, 2009 on the band of 15m in the JIDX Contest.

Another one is from JT1T station. JT1T is directly operated by MRSF Mongolian Federation and its callsign for contests. I had a QSO with this station on November 21, 2009 on 15m and 40m bands in the Mongolian DX Contest.

The number of active Mongolian stations is still small. It is very difficult to have a QSO with JT stations on usual QSO though Mongolia is near country from Japan. I'm so happy that I got confirmation from precious entity.

LP2F from Argentina, Muchas Gracias!

Many QSL cards were delivered to me between the last of 2009 and new year of 2010.
I'll show you newly arrived cards from all over the world.

This is a QSL card from LP2F, Argentina.

I had a QSO with LP2F station on October 25, 2009 on the band of 15m in the CQ WW DX Contest. This station is the first QSO with Argentina. I was very surprised to be able to talk with a station on the opposite side of the globe as if I talk with our local stations.
The distance between my operation site in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo and Argentina is 18767km!! I thought it is a great surprise that my voice traveled very long distance.

Is person who is standing on the antenna tower LP2F operator?? I imagined he must be living in very large house.

Muchas Gracias FB QSL!
