QSL LU6Z ---> Raul, LU6EF reports that the GACW (Grupo Argentino de CW) is
replying to direct request for the LU6Z operations. At this moment 1850 en-
velopes have been sent. The work is proceeding slowly, because the cards are
handwritten by a single person. About 15-20% of the received envelopes have
been tampered and some have probably got "lost". However, before to send a
second request, it is better to wait for the GACW to report the complete di-
spatchment of all requests. The GACW ask not to send dollars but IRC and to
use only this address: P.O. Box 9, 1875 Wilde, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
