QSL VIA K1IED ---> Larry is the QSL manager for KC4AAA (Amundsen-Scott
South Pole Station), KC4AAC (Palmer Station on Anvers Island, AN-012) and
KC4USV (McMurdo Station on Ross Island, AN-011). "I want everybody to know
that I have and always have sent out any cards that I have gotten logs
for", he says. "It has been very dificult to get logs from some of the
stations. Some operators never even log the contacts. None of the stations
have a logging program so I have to wait for paper logs which can take
months or a spread sheet sent to me by the operator when he gets around to
it. I have not received any logs from KC4AAA or KC4AAC since January. I did
get a short log from KC4USV in November and thoes cards are on the way".
