Mail finally gets to Venezuela

YV4BCD

It has been very difficult to get mail in and out of Venezuela over the last year due to the politcal and financial climate in the country. Several attempts to get our bureau packages to the YV QSL Bureau failed with mail being returned as “Route suspended” however thanks to the help of the YV Bureau team we were able to route the mail via USA and this was picked up by the YV team.

The photo from YV4BCD, Juan shows that the cards from Tim M0URX and myself, Charles M0OXO finally got through to the Venezuela hams.

Thank you to all who helped!
