Designing and printing the card was the easy part indeed. Delivery was
tougher. Although I've sent the packed by priority registered mail with
delivery confirmation, it is in that kind of countries still not certain
that the parcel will arrive. So part of the honour goes in this case also to
the honesty of the postman ;-)

Another point that attracted my attention was the fact that VoTanazania sent
also a card to M.Schoech although I only mentioned his name in my report
(without other coordinates). They took the effort to look up his address. So
they are keeping file of the incoming reception reports. Maybe our reception
reports are in this decade still valuable, contrary to what some stations
are trying to let us believe...
