I received a large batch of HC8/K6AW direct requests that had been sent to K6AW. I will be processing those over the next week or two. So, if you sent a request to K6AW, no need to resend. These have not been added into my database yet so they won't show up in the lookup to the left.

25 March 2010: 
I will be handling cards for HC8GR for March, 2010 activity in addition to Nov/Dec, 2009. Please send direct only. No bureau for HC8GR at this time.
8 Feb 2010: Logs received from James for 9V1YC through 2 Feb. I'm catching up on requests for Dec/Jan. One note, there are several requests for 30m QSOs on 23-Dec for James. I have confirmed with James that he was on 30m around that time however he went QRT at 0003Z and a pirate appraently took over the frequency for several minutes after that making bogus QSOs. Unfortunatly, these requests will be returned as NIL.
9V1YC QSL Processing: I receive log updates from James the first week or two of each month for activity the prior month. For instance, if you work James anytime in September and send for a card right away, the EARLIEST I could reply would be around the second week of October.
