[WVDXA] FAST 160-M QSL's

[W8TN - Clark]

In working DX over the years, getting the QSL has always been the harder
part of working DX.  I have had especially long waits for QSL's out of
Russia.  In fact, I bought a book once that had a dozen or so ham related
phrases (Please QSL, Thanks for the QSO, etc.) written in seventy-some
languages.  I would laboriously transcribe onto my QSL a couple of those
phrases into the Russian Cyrillic alphabet to try and increase my chance of
getting a card back.  Still, once I mailed that QSL, I knew I had at least a
TWO YEAR wait to receive back a QSL - *IF* I ever got one.

Fast forward to the digital world and my current activity on 160-M.  Today I
checked my Logbook of the World (LoTW) account and found a 160-M
confirmation from URØMC in the Ukraine for a QSO on November 30th (just over
a week ago.)  A few days back I got an LoTW confirmation from RA4LW in
European Russia.  Now THAT is really, as Emeril Lagasse says, "Kicking UP"
my enjoyment of ham radio.
