The GR2HQ Qsl Cards arrived today from the Printer.
150 Qsl Cards that were requested ‘direct’ were the first to be processed and they will arrive at Royal Mail on Monday (20th September) morning. 130 cards requested on-line for RSGB bureau will be in the system early next week.
Thanks for your patience!
Hot on the heels of the last batch (see blog previous to one), these cards also sent to the RSGB Bureau today:-
GB1TAN – 90, MØOXO – 140,
GBØANT – 445, GB1HI – 430,
GB4IPY – 370……..
….Substantially more than anticipated and still pending are the GR2HQ Cards.
That brings the total amount of labels printed in the last 14/21 days to just over 4000. Hopefully they will move very swiftly through the system.

A big thanks to Phil G4OBK for his recent contact re-WFF.
Many of you will be starting to see new areas appearing in your results on the EW4DX LogSearch. Phil has kindly supplied the logs from his SOTA and his WOTA activities to us for the WFF programme.
So far we have sent several logs to the LogSearch from areas such as GFF-020 (Yorkshire Dales National Park), GFF-008 (Lake District National Park) & GFF-012 (North Yorkshire Moors National Park [new activation!]).
Please note that there are no Qsl Cards available for these trips, just the verifications on the WFF LogSearch. On your behalf, I extend our gratitude to Phil for his support of the WFF programme!

ONFF announced a few weeks ago that their WFF Awards were now completed and were ready for issue.
I am pleased to say that my first ONFF Award arrived yesterday courtesy of the ONFF Co-ordinator Gino ON3SSB. There are several Awards available (website click here) and he tells us:-
Rules to apply for the “ONFF Award” are simple :
– The award is free, and free only, and will be send to you by mail (electronic format), JPEG file.
– There are 3 different classes :
Class 3/Bronze : 10 QSO’s have to be made with 10 different ONFF references.
Class 2/Silver : 25 QSO’s have to be made with 25 different ONFF references.
Class 1/Gold : 50 QSO’s have to be made with 50 different ONFF references.
All bands, all modes are welcome and all contacts must be verified by the EW4DX Log search.
GL to Gino and the ONFF team, we wish them every success!
The team have responded to all those who sent their QSLs direct. QSL Manager Leo, HB9DWL, mailed more than 1000 letters around the world. Letters received with insufficient return postage or expired IRCs were QSL’d via the bureau (some people just never learn!).
…but not by good HF propagation!
Sunspot 1093 continues to amaze onlookers.
Earlier this week, it divided like a giant amoeba undergoing mitosis.
And “today it looks like an owl (family Tytonidae),” reports Rogerio Marcon of Campinas, Brasil. “What a beautiful configuration!”
Well it’s different I’ll give them that!
