I am pleased to say that 320 3B9FR Qsl Cards went in the mail a few days ago in response to those of you that requested them via M0OXO OQRS.

Yesterday I received a box of Direct Qsl requests that had been forewarded to Berti HB9SLO (previous Qsl manager).

All of those requests (approx 120) are currently being processed and will hit the mail on Friday 18th April using my Priority Air Mail Service, For the people that sent mail via HB9SLO I would like to offer my thanks for your patience. The handing over process from HB9SLO to M0OXO took around two weeks to complete but now ALL qsl requests received for Robert 3B9FR have all been completed with none left pending. If you havent received your Direct card in the next 7 to 10 days then please email me and I will check the log and records here.

I also now have full Logs for 3B9FR up to and including 15th April 2014 so Log checks are welcome via my email address (click here).

I am used to the odd complaint, thankfully few and far between but less often people now and again take time to thanks me for the Qsl service which is really pleasing to hear. Here is one such message ;

”Charles:
Today I received the QSL card confirming my contact with ZM90DX 22 Mar 14.  I was amazed at how quickly it came.

I just want to tell you that I am most impressed with the quality of the correspondence and the speed with which you handled the transaction.

Thank you and continued good luck with the QSL-managing business. Whoever has you as their manager are lucky indeed.

MX0SSW – Silcoates School in Wakefield, West Yorkshire yesterday took possession of theire new 6 Band Broadband Hexbeam courtesy of Ant MW0JZE. http://www.g3txq-hexbeam.com/

The Hexbeam was mounted on the roof of the School about 40 feet above ground, the School itself being pretty high above sea level in the local area.

Listen out for the kids (10 – 17 years of age) as they will be QRV most days on HF, Digital and SSB during their School days, lunch times and breaks.

Supervised by their Teacher, Nigel Wears M0NJW, the Hexbeam will make a great addition to their School Radio Shack and help them progress further through the hobby.

Having broke the 40,000 Qso mark several weeks ago now, here are a few statistics for the

ZM90DX Qsl work;

Cards will be issued as soon as they arrive.

The ZM90DX Team have now launched an Award checker to help you monitor how you progress is going whilst attempting to attain the points needed for the special ZM90DX Award (see foto to left).

This award recognises operators who are able to operate on multiple bands and modes, as well as overcome the distances and unique propagation challenges that come with being at the bottom of the pacific.

Just simply enter your Callsign into the search box and it will tell you your list of QSO’s you have made and more crucially, what Award level you are currently working towards.

See the link here http://zm90dx.com/award.html  which will take you to the ZM90DX Award Checker.

Qsl Cards are available via M0OXO OQRS
