QSL 3Y0X ---> The first batch of cards (115 pounds/52 kilograms) was sent out
on 8 May. They were mailed to about 2/3 of the individuals who contributed to
the DXpedition expenses AND whose cards were received through the beginning
of April. Over the next two weeks, the remainder of this group of cards will
be processed. After Dayton, the QSL team will resume processing the rest of
the contributor cards as well as the non-contributor cards. Bureau cards will
be processed at an appropriate time in the future. Please refrain from
e-mailing the QSL manager (N2OO) at this time. When the cards are all
processed, he will then gladly assist with any QSL issues. [TNX K0IR & K4UEE]
QSL VU4AN/... ---> Final arrangements seems to be in place for the followiong

being in the log, or incorrect band/mode. "You can trust that I will
thorougly examine each of your QSOs against the log", he says, "and do my
best to ensure that you get credit for each QSO that match the log entries. I
suspect many of the issues raised in the emails will be resolved". Steve asks
not to include QSLs for other stations he manages with your YX0A/YX0LIX
cards, as this this will substantially delay your QSL return. Bureau cards
will be honoured and logs will be posted on LOTW (even though not in the near
future).
