My one and only FM Band QSL was from a station in Western Texas. First 
request was not acted on. On my second try, I photocopied and underscored a 
page from QST showing that there was huge e-skip cloud where operators in SE 
Michigan and SW Ontario had worked stations in Western Texas on the same day 
that I reported hearing their station. My prepared card came back within a 
week.
