Re: [HCDX]: QSLs

["KC7LDP" <kc7ldp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

This sounds quite familiar! James Achanyi-Fontem verified 3 different
outlets back in April of 1987 in the same letter; R. Cameroon on 9745 kHz
from 4-8-83, Garoua on 5010 kHz from 5-4-83 and Douala on 4795 kHz from
8-16-83. He had all of the times, frequencies and dates right. He also
verified Buea on 3970 kHz from 11-24-88 with a separate card & letter,
Bertoua on 4750 kHz on 8-20-82 and Bafoussam on 4000 kHz on 6-16-83.
Obviously, this man has verified all of my Cameroon (he spells it with 2
'O's, too) outlets. Is Cameroun still on? I haven't heard them lately.

Terry, KC7LDP
