Many thanks to everybody who supports or already supported the ongoing long time project to help Vlad to stay on air for more than 5 years already!
Please check http://4k9w.blogspot.de for more information.
Bureau and Direct QSLs can be requested using Club Log:

Any paper QSL-requests have to be send to manager DL6KVA only (via DARC-bureau or direct is ok).
If You plan to send a direct-QSL-request please keep in mind the postage rates from Germany (0.60 EUR to Germany, 0.75 EUR to every other country).
So for a direct reply 1 IRC or 2 USD would be enough for up to 9 QSOs on one QSL.

Born and bred in Sheffield, England.
After leaving school, I took up the position of apprentice electrician at one of the (then) many steelworks in Sheffield, qualifying in 1979.
My first experience of ham radio was watching my brother Steve - G0JJV, working Australia with 10 watts of CW via a TS120V, and I have been hooked ever since.
I was first licenced in 1990 as G7HTG. I then sat the 12wpm morse test to gain my class "A" call sign G0OUD.
My main interests are CW, homebrew and QRP, they all seem to meld together rather well for me as I enjoy building anything, bikes and trikes are another interest.
We moved to the Isle of Man in November 2006 ( I became GD0OUD), as the wife missed the family and the Island too much. I didn't take too much convincing. If you have visited here, you know why. If you have not, that is your loss!
The better half is now licensed as 2D0JEA, and the grandson, Tom, is licensed as 2D0TWM.
QSL is via the Bureau ( preferably), LOTW is fine, and eQSL if you really must. Direct is awkward as the Post Office here no longer accepts IRC's, but if you email me we can sort it out.
I am not interested in the various log book setups that exist on the internet. My personal log and LOTW are sufficient, and I see no benefit in duplicating my log.
I upload my log to LOTW at the end of each month. If you need confirmation sooner please email me.
SWL reports very welcome, and QSL cards exchanged.
I am happy to arrange a sked if you want to work GD, whether it is for an award or just a rag chew.
P.S. There are only about half a dozen CW ops on the Isle of Man, so if you hear " --. -.." on air, it's your lucky day!

QSL Information:

Electronic Confirmations

We aim to give you confirmations of your contact with GA14CG via eQSL and LoTW at least 3 times per day. Clublog updates are automatic within 5 minutes or so.

Why do we prefer electronic confirmations ? A good question, here are some answers

• It saves us money, we have no sponsorship at all and are funding the special event station entirely ourselves.
• It saves you money, please do not send us your cards, we are more than happy to use technology to confirm our QSO for free
• You get your confirmation same day and your LoTW is as good for a DXCC or CQ award as paper with less hassle
• An electronic confirmation never goes missing in the mail !
• We cannot ask more of the volunteers who have been running the station to manage 1,000′s of QSLs after the event as well as running it for 2 weeks

Please do not send us you card, especially if we have a confirmed QSO on LoTW

We are happy to provide electronic confirmations for free, if you feel you must contribute in some way, please feel free to send us a donation via PAYPAL instead of your card.

All donations received go directly towards the running costs of the station and the equipment repairs afterwards (we already have some damage). No profit is made

Paper Confirmations

Of course we fully appreciate some of the radio community still prefer paper confirmations but again PLEASE DO NOT SEND US YOUR CARD

Our QSO Policy for either bureau or direct is that we will support requests through either route but ONLY VIA CLUBLOG !

If you want a paper card, please request a card direct or via the bureau using Clublog OQRS, When using OQRS, you DO NOT send your card to us, which is unnecessary and slows down the QSL process.

Why do we want to only use ClubLog Online QRS tools ? Fair question, the answer is simple:

• We do not have to manually check you are in the log.
• If you are not in the ClubLog log (use LogSearch to check) then you are NOT in the log and would not receive a card in reply to yours
• Clublog checks for us if you have a confirmed contact and if we have a confirmed contact we will be happy to send you a BUREAU card (Free)  on request and you can request the card direct via Clublog.
• Clublog checks for us if you have a confirmed contact and if we have a confirmed contact we will be happy to send you a DIRECT card (Fee applies) on request and you can request the card direct via Clublog.
• Your request for a card is handled automatically via Clublogs OQRS tools and makes the whole process really easy for us to get you your card quickly (automatic prints)

The whole QSL process is very costly and with a QSO count of over 20,000 contacts the cost is substantial. If you have requested a Bureau card (which we will supply for free) and feel you would like to make a contribution to our running costs please use the donate button below:

In summary:

• We are not using traditional manual log checking methods and paper cards. We are actively encouraging free electronic confirmation methods.
• We are using ClubLog QSL tools exclusively for all QSL requests, if you are not in the log, no request is possible!
• If you think you should be in the log, please email us and we will check the electronic logs for mis-typed calls
• PLEASE DO NOT SEND us cards via bureau, if your card arrives via bureau and there is no confirmed contact, you will not receive a reply, check Clublog for a confirmed contact first and THEN use Clublog to request your Bureau card.
• PLEASE DO NOT SEND us cards direct, if your card arrives via direct, no confirmed contact exists, insufficient postage, no SAE or any other issues, you will not receive a reply, check Clublog for a confirmed contact first and THEN use Clublog to request your Direct card.
• If you are not a Clublog user at the moment, registration is FREE AND EASY. A lot easier than sending a card for sure !  Upload your log and once your log matches with ours, you can request a card direct or via the bureau.
• Requests via CLublog can only be made after a verified contact is confirmed, so we do not need to check manually and we are certain to receive your request, if you decide to send us a card via bureau it could take months or years (or even never) to reach us, same applies to direct cards with currency enclosed, there is always the possibility of it going missing.

Thank you for your understanding!

Any issues, please e-mail us: info@ga14cg.com
