For fantastic Custom QSL cards have a look at www.printed.it As used by ZD7VC and many other ZD7 Stations as well as DX stations (and noteably Big Dx-peditions) right around the world. If YOU want fantastic looking QSL cards that other Ham Operators would love to have gracing their shacks then you'll need to contact Alfio - IT9EJW and send him the pictures that you want on your card and let him design you a FANTASTIC QSL CARD - Guaranteed you won't be disappointed!!!!
Don't just take my word for it though - see what the reviews on www.eham.net have to say!! Look for IT9EJW QSL's.
If you've also been the recipient of Alfio's beautiful artwork perhaps you too might like to post a review onwww.eham.net - thanks.
Islands on the Air (IOTA) - could all stations who live on Islands please consider putting your IOTA reference number on your QSL cards.
To those of us who wish to collect IOTA numbers for awards or otherwise it's frustrating to find that this tiny bit of very important information is missing from the QSL card.
On the 16 January 2011 I worked KA5N who said that he'd never worked St. Helena Island (ZD7) in all of his 56 years of hamming. On the 3rd June 2012 I had the good fortune of having a 10 meter contact with I6TJD - Francesco who it turned out was 83 years old and had been hamming for 65 years and this was his first contact with St. Helena Island (ZD7).
I would be very interested to hear from Ham Operators who live off the grid. I am in the process of accumulating equipment for an off grid solar installation. At present I have four 250w Sanyo HIT panels, a Midnite Classic 150 MPPT Charge Controller, and an Outback VFX3048E @ 50hz and still accumulating equipment.
Thank you

Hi Bruce
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to contact you on an entirely different matter. The e:mail address I have for you ZD7VC@cwimail.sh keeps bouncing back.
I'm wondering if it is possible to use two or three of your images from the Shipspotting/Marine Traffic websites of the RMS St Helena for possible inclusion in a book I am writing for Ferry Publications in conjunction with the St Helena Line. It started out as a fond 'Farewell to the RMS', though things have moved on with the ship now remaining in service until next July. The pictures were taken at Jamestown in, I believe, 2007.
Whilst Ferry Publications produce high quality books, it is essentially an enthusiasts' operation in that contributors and authors receive no payments for their work or photos, very much a labour of love.
If you are able to help it would be very much appreciated. Your name of course would be properly credited on any images used.
I look forward to hearing from you (even if it is the negative!).
With best wishes
John Bryant
