And a personal note. You were the first EU I worked on 160 when I moved to CA 
in 2006, but I still don't have a response from the card I sent you via the 
Bureau. The last thing I'm going to do is respond to your CQ. Thankfully other 
DL stations were more courteous.

Also as a personal note. If I am interested in receiving a QSL from a DX 
station, whether for a new country or for an Award. I do not 
QSL via the Bureau. I send the card direct! 

I found that Wolf was very good at QSLing.
