"Ham" Stations Appreciate Cards

RECENTLY received a card from W6MBE, on which he says he is pleased to get reports from New ZeaJand. He also says: "Any of the felJowg down there anxious to trade your stamps for U.S. ones? Glad to swap all new U.S. issues for yours." His address is W. BH, Altizer, 424 10th Street, Antioch, California, U.S.A. He announces his call as: "W6MBE, Mechanical Bull Elephant." Another letter from VK2DQ states that he has not got the T/20 going yet, but will let us know when he has. He announces: "VK2 Dynamite Quality, of Broken Hill, Western New Soutr Wales." He operates on about 14,282 k.c., and, as I said in previous notes in the "Record," he wants reports from New Zealand. His QRA is in all call books. I notice that GIN (Hector) states it took six months to get a card from XE2FC. Well, I reported this station at the end of November, 1937. and got shis card at end of February. He says: "Thanks a lot, Frank, for the card and report. I sure appreciate them, especially the card." Did you send him a QSL card O.M.? That may have made a difference. The following remarks from "hams" show how they appreciate a card:VK2DQ: "’Yis an excellent card. O.M., and graces the shack wall here. Thankg for it." W2IXY: "Very many thanks for your very beautiful card. I certainly appreciate it," VK2AFO: "Thanks, Frank, for report; hope to hear from you again. Very nice card." VK2AEL; "Thanks for the very nice QSL and report. Hope to hear from you again soon, O.M." VK4TY; "Sure is an excellent card, O.M. I’m very pleased to hear from you." The above are some of many remarks from amateurs, whose cards I have received, Latest QSL’s are from XE2KC. LUSBY and F300, who wonders why he can’t work a ZL on 20m. phone. Reports are out to YFSKI, GdBJ, ON4BG, W6BKY (on 75m. band),

VR6A (Pitcairn Island), LAIF and LA1G.-551A (Frankton). Answers To Correspondents 109T (Opunake): You mention the administrador of COCX ag being Sr. F. A. "Ravil," but the name is "Lavin," and the station has the slogan "La Casa Lavin." The address of CMX is the same as for COCX, Apartado 32.-246 M.C. (Christchurch). GIN (Hector): Regarding the difference of opinion on the address of FISAC, I obtained the address from 569A, who had obtained it from the QSL Bureau. He sent his report there, and, naturally, I sent mine to the same place. So you will just have to take a chance on which address you choose. Incidentally, the name is "Bourgeois" not "Bowgevis."-ad82A (Huntly West). . Identification Wanted Station on 10.39 m.e. heard on Sunday, March 27. Announcements were being made in a foreign language, with the words "National Broadcasting Service" being given in English, At 4.40 p.m, the following announcement was made in English: "This is WQV and WCG concluding a special transmission and closing down." Cah any listener give me any information on these stations or supply me with the addresses? -266M.C. (Christchurch). Stations Identified R.M. (Auckland): The station you heard on the 31 metre band was TGWA, Guatemala. I heard it on February 23, calling and working a station in Costa Rica. When it closed down, an announcement was made in English.556A (‘Te Aroha). DX Topics Exchange of QSL Cards. HE following list of listeners who desire to exchange QSL cards was supplied by W. C.
