9V1YC QSL Status
James' QSL manager, Joe, N5ID has been suffering from an extended
illness and has been in the hospital or rehabilitation for several
months, unable to respond to QSL requests. As a result I am temporarily
taking over answering Joe's backlog of requests. The priority will be
direct requests and I will get to bureau requests as time allows. I have
all of James' logs and received an initial large batch of unopened
direct requests from Joe's QTH and have blanks for 9V1YC so processing
of those will begin this week. I will also be answering N1YC/VK9X and
9V9HQ requests once I have the blank cards. I will be receiving more
from Joe over the next few weeks, so please continue to be patient.
Please note that at this time this is a TEMPORARY change. PLEASE DO
NOT update any QSL manager databases or routes as a result of this note.
In the interim please feel free to direct any email queries about
your 9V1YC status directly to me. Also, I will be updating status from
time to time on my web page at http://w5ue.net .
James and Joe both apologize for any inconvenience this has caused
and appreciate your understanding. Please continue to keep Joe in your
thoughts and prayers.
