LOG SEARCH: (Thanks to Michael, G7VJR!)

MD0CCE QSL INFO: I answer all QSLs received, quickly when I am home but there are delays when I am travelling.

US Stations: Please show your COUNTY on your card - Thanks!

If you are sending a stamped envelope - thanks! but please note that UK stamps DO NOT WORK (and US stamps certainly do not work!) for the Isle of Man! We have our own stamps (and our own money, and our own government, and - - - -)

QSL via LOTW, Bureau or Direct. For a direct return, please send a self-addressed envelopewith:

• Isle of Man stamps (71p - Europe, 80p - rest of world) - OR -
• one IRC - OR -
• one US Dollar $1 to help cover postage (postage to EU = $1.14; postage to USA/JA/VK = $1.28)

All direct cards are answered promptly, usually within a day or two when I am home. Cards received from the QSL bureau are processed as received, but not always immediately as they are usually delivered more than 1,000 at a time, and I do them by hand.
