Please check the E6GG web-site www.e6gg.com for further details..
QSL via G3TXF

Please use Club Log’s OQRS for requesting either Bureau or Directs QSLs for E6GG.

Request a QSL via OQRS   
Use the link above, to go to the Club Log page, put in your own callsign and then press “Request QSL”. You can then choose to receive your E6GG QSLs either via the Bureau or Direct
The full E6GG log will be up-loaded to LoTW.

We are happy to send you an E6GG QSL, but your QSL card is not needed. Thank you.

Please do not send QSLs through the Bureau to request a Bureau QSL. Use Club Log’s OQRS to request a Bureau QSL from E6GG. It is much faster using OQRS to request a Bureau QSL than sending your card to request a reply Bureau QSL. We will be despatching E6GG reply Bureau QSLs directly to each of the national QSL Bureaux around the world.

Please do not mail letters with Direct QSLs to G3TXF. Use the E6GG OQRS to request your Direct QSL. OQRS is much faster, cheaper and simpler for Direct QSLs.

The E6GG QSL Manager always replies to all requests for QSLs. But please use only Club Log’s OQRS for requesting either Bureau QSLs or Direct QSLs.

LCM from the French Amphibious Assault Ship - MISTRAL.


Looking down from Putty Hill at the Briars (foreground) and Jamestown to the North.


The 78m Malaysian registered ocean going landing craft the N.P. GLORY 4 chartered by the South African construction company Basil Read contracted to build an airstrip on St. Helena Island due for completion in 2016.  This ship shuttles between Walvis Bay and the Island bringing all necessary equipment.  Seen here making history as being the first ship to ever dock at Island, in this case at the Sheers in Ruperts to a makeshift jetty extending a little way from the shore.  Loaded with 30 & 40 Ton Volvo articulated dump trucks, Caterpillar D9 & D6 Bulldozers.


The correct mailing address:
Bruce R. Salt
PO Box 5
Jamestown
St. Helena Island
South Atlantic Ocean
(VIA GREAT BRITAIN)

When mailing please remember to include a self addressed envelope (please do not use stamps on your envelope from the country that you are mailing from) and 2 US Dollars or Sterling/Euro Notes.   No IRC's or Euro Coins - thank you.
Strictly NO eQSL or LOTW - DIRECT ONLY
If I disappear from the air suddenly while in QSO or running a pileup it is because there has been a powercut.  The Island's powerhouse (2 x 1 MW generators) is always dogged with problems.
Antennas: Force 12 C-4E & most recently (2014) a pair of 4 Element LFA Yagis for 6m from InnovAntennaswww.InnovAntennas.com  e mail: Justin G0KSC justin@innovantennas.com
My QSL cards are printed by the best in the QSL printing industry Tipolitografia dei F.lli Bonanno A. e V. A. snc www.printed.it   e mail:  Alfio Bonnano it9ejw@printed.it since 2001 when I discovered that he had sponsored the QSL Cards for the ZD7K & ZD8K Dx-pedition in 2001 by the Barry Amateur Radio Club - UK, absolute works of art everytime resulting in impressive QSL cards printed on quality card stock.
St. Helena Island is a very tiny & remote Island in the South Atlantic Ocean without any aircraft not even a resident helicopter, so please be patient when mailing your letter as everything is brought to the Island by the supply ship ST. HELENA the last Royal Mail ship left in the world apparently and it is not unusual for a letter to take 3 months from the time it is dispatched to the time that you receive it back.  I do QSL 100% and process the cards as rapidly as possible but always have to await the return of the supply ship.
St. Helena Island is very remote and is often considered to be behind the rest of the world by 20 years and still living in the post Colonial era.  Our internet is via Satellite with very limited bandwidth and the speed of a dial-up connection for an astromonical monthly fee.  We regularly run short of essential food commodities and are no longer self sufficient, in earlier years the Island would supply up to 1,000 visiting ships now one ship the ST. HELENA (pictured above) supplies the Island.
It's intriguing to see which countries visit my page and all I can say is thank you for visiting and look forward to working you on the air sometime either on 6m or HF.  I am an avid 6m DX-er and run a beacon on 50.007mhz courtesy of Dave N3DB and company.  I also have a keen interest in 2m SSB & FM which I need to develop upon.
I am also chasing US Counties, a quest that I began in 2011, in addition to this I am also chasing IOTA (Islands on the Air) numbers despite the fact that I live on a tiny & very remote Island myself which is AF-022.
At this point I should mention KX2A - Jan who in more ways than one and through his generosity has enabled the five operational ZD7 stations to remain on the air at times of difficulty through the geograpical location of the Island.  He is a small man with a BIG HEART!!!!!!!!!! 
ISLAND LIFE IS ALL ABOUT ADAPTATION & IMPROVISATION - THAT'S HOW WE GET BY.


Aside from work my primary interests are:
Ship Photography (Maritime Enthusiast), Amateur Radio - of course, and lastly I'm very interested in Metal Detecting.  It sure would be nice to hear from anyone that's heavily into metal detecting.
A strange trend has begun developing over the past six months and that is that a number of Amateur Radio Operators are sending me QSL cards for Peter -  ZD7FT, I am NOT ZD7FT's QSL manager, I just manage his QRZ web page.  Please direct all QSL cards for ZD7FT direct to him via his QSL information on QRZ.com - Thank You.

50 YEARS OF DX LIFE IN ALL SHAPES AND COLORS
Walking on the beautiful beach in one of those well over 100 countries I have visited and operated from, under the palm trees or otherwise, brings back wonderful memories that only traveling the world can offer. It has taken me some 50 years to see and experience them all and determine which country is the best one overall and where the radio works best in all segments of the radio spectrum.
Experimenting with novel technology advances and trying out a variety of applications with their cleverness and ingeniousness able to change your whole life in a way never imagined before can be quite mind-boggling - and educational. It took 50 years to learn that evolution will never stop, but it does assume from mankind continued improvement. In this endeavor, competitive Amateur Radio offers a valuable way forward.
Experiencing friendships of all kinds and watching seemingly firm relationships falter while others unexpectedly thrive proves that people in this world after all pursue their own interests, and only a few individuals stand out as those that you can trust and share your emotions with. It took me 50 years to identify those few that are worth their weight in gold. Here, meeting people of all races and cultures, domestic and overseas, has confirmed the truth.
Finally, to realize that the power of nature and the strength of the family unit in the ups and downs of life are infinite is a truth that easily spans those 50 years. But the ultimate realization comes from deriving great satisfaction from finding a country, a constant evolutionary curve, trusted friends and full understanding of your nature and your own family - which can make those 50 years of life highly gratifying.
The activities of the OH2BH jubilee year (2011) have touched upon all these elements, of all shapes and colors, finally leading to an ultimate truth in which Amateur Radio has played an important role. So, in the final analysis, you can ask this question: has it all been worth those 50 years to be a DXer?
Yes, the past 50 years have provided me an answer. How about you?
