The GR2HQ Qsl Cards arrived today from the Printer.
150 Qsl Cards that were requested ‘direct’ were the first to be processed and they will arrive at Royal Mail on Monday (20th September) morning. 130 cards requested on-line for RSGB bureau will be in the system early next week.
Thanks for your patience!
Hot on the heels of the last batch (see blog previous to one), these cards also sent to the RSGB Bureau today:-
GB1TAN – 90, MØOXO – 140,
GBØANT – 445, GB1HI – 430,
GB4IPY – 370……..
….Substantially more than anticipated and still pending are the GR2HQ Cards.
That brings the total amount of labels printed in the last 14/21 days to just over 4000. Hopefully they will move very swiftly through the system.

A big thanks to Phil G4OBK for his recent contact re-WFF.
Many of you will be starting to see new areas appearing in your results on the EW4DX LogSearch. Phil has kindly supplied the logs from his SOTA and his WOTA activities to us for the WFF programme.
So far we have sent several logs to the LogSearch from areas such as GFF-020 (Yorkshire Dales National Park), GFF-008 (Lake District National Park) & GFF-012 (North Yorkshire Moors National Park [new activation!]).
Please note that there are no Qsl Cards available for these trips, just the verifications on the WFF LogSearch. On your behalf, I extend our gratitude to Phil for his support of the WFF programme!
