We’re happy to share a full update on QSL card mailings for the expedition!
All QSL requests received by mid‑February have now been processed and mailed in several batches. Here’s the breakdown:
Batches from Ukraine
Two large batches of cards were mailed at the end of January and in mid‑February.
These shipments covered Europe and the rest of the world – everywhere except the United States.
USA Cards
All QSL cards destined for the USA were mailed from within the United States, in two batches sent yesterday and today (March 11-12). This should significantly reduce delivery times for U.S. operators.
🙌 Huge Thanks to Yarik UW7LL
A very special thank‑you goes to Yarik (UW7LL), our QSL manager.
He handled everything – printing cards, organizing logs, stuffing envelopes – all while dealing with:
- ❄️ freezing temperatures
- 🔌 frequent power blackouts
- 🔋 running equipment from a power bank when nothing else was available
His dedication made this entire QSL process possible. If you receive a card soon, know that Yarik put in a heroic effort to get it to you!
