Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] One for the Books

["Jim Renfrew" <jrenfrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

FWIW, Randy, I have received QSLs properly filled out for 1530 and 1611, so 
I'd try again with a follow-up on your 1611.  I can't give you a name or 
title because neither of thoese earlier cards was signed.  I think they 
forwarded my recent showrtwave letter to one of the program people because I 
gave such detailed info about their Africa program.
