lost in the mail, one way or the other. John also reminded me of the

done after the direct requests are completed; 2) If you request cards for
other stations that John manages in addition to your BS7H card, your reply
will be delayed". W4FRU handles all non-JA requests for 1997 BS7H cards.

NOTE ON KH2 QSL ROUTES ---> Jim Kehler, KH2D (Guam QSL Bureau Manager)
reports that "the KH2 QSL Bureau in Guam is becoming a repository for a very
large number of unclaimed QSL cards. This document [which has been included
in the "QSL INFO" above, ed.] is an attempt to address the correct QSL routes
for Guam 2x1 calls only. The MAJORITY of extra class call signs issued for
Guam are NOT issued to hams in Guam. If you have sent QSL cards to hams on
the following list via the bureau system, your card is probably here
unclaimed. Please QSL again via the route mentioned in the list. This list
was complied on October 1, 1997 and is correct to the best of our knowledge
at this time. Please email any corrections, additions, additional information
to <kh2d@kuentos.guam.net> or mail it to the KH2 QSL Bureau at P.O. Box 445,
Agana, Guam 96910. If you are activly using an AH2, KH2, NH2, or WH2 callsign
and you are not in Guam but want your QSL cards that arrive here, please
email <kh2d@kuentos.guam.net> and I will provide you with details on how to
get your cards forwarded to you. All unclaimed cards at the KH2 bureau will
be destroyed on January 1, 1998 and thereafter unclaimed cards will not
be kept on file or returned, but will be destroyed on arrival."
Notes:
Guam = OK to QSL via bureau system.
Guam ?? = Listed as being in Guam but unknown to Guam Club/Bureau. May
or may not actually be in Guam.
MIA = Missing in Action. Don't know who/where they are.
CBA in US = Not in Guam. QSL to U.S. Callbook address.
Via (callsign) = QSL direct to callsign. Do *not* QSL via bureau.
Via JA? = Japanese ham with Guam callsign. JA callsign unknown. Do
*not* QSL via bureau.
