Then someone mentioned that 1st-class mail from Iran to other continents is $7 just for postage.<br /><br />I recently paid $5 for an Ethiopian card and felt that perhaps I didn't pay enough as this money goes to support a club station there.<br /><br />If a P5 appeared briefly and you worked him, what would you pay to confirm N. Korea?<br /><br />I agree with you about the Egyptian station and worked him myself a few days ago, then read his QRZ.com info you mentioned. I won't be seeking a card from this guy (who is Russian) - and not just because I don't need SU.<br /><br />You will soon have the opportunity to work other Egyptian stations on several bands:<br />http://dx-world.net/2013/egypt-2013-su-iota-dxpedition/<br />John AE5Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06884676867006975179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12559579.post-65973021370425819112013-03-09T03:19:29.521-05:002013-03-09T03:19:29.521-05:00Make a complete entry in your electronic and paper...Make a complete entry in your electronic and paper log. You know, you worked Egypt and that is the essential. It won't count towards DXCC but worse things can happen,believe me.Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10984094559146508871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12559579.post-81973235846732719152013-03-08T23:14:33.661-05:002013-03-08T23:14:33.661-05:00Larry,

If someone states that he does not use LoTW then it clearly shows that they are only interested in collecting green stamps.<br /><br />For the record the ‘VB’ stations travels extensively in Africa to exotic locations and does send paper QSLs after the PayPal transaction has been done. I received my card from Vladimir for a QRP QSO on 10m.<br /><br />More info here: http://dx-world.net/2012/su9vb-egypt/<br /><br />Pierrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16230877697387453564noreply@blogger.com
