If you check with the Penn State Amateur Radio Club I'm sure they could help you and give you a QSL card. If you participated in our special event station, please be sure to ask about the K3PSU card from the current president. If you contacted K3CR during a contest, there's a good chance that you contacted one of the contest participants and not K3CR proper, in which case each contest participant is responsible for QSLing. In short, I'm not the guy to ask. But I hope you find the right person. 73, KC2QCY Hey Martin,

I am a county hunter and I just went thru my old logs to see what I can find. I sent you a QSL card via the ARRL buro because your county is still on my wish list and because we met on air as follows: YYYYMMDD UTC CALL 20070218 1617 K3CR 15M CW 599 20070317 2152 K3CR 20M CW 599 20091128 1544 K3CR 15M CW 599 20091128 1638 K3CR 20M CW 599 According to my callbook version this is your address and county: K3CR Penn State Amateur Radio Club.James K Breakall,Hub Activities Desk,University Park,, PA 16802 Centre FN10BT Unfortunately, I haven't received a qsl despite the fact that the usual delay time for buro qsls has already elapsed. If you are not a user of the ARRL buro, you may use the SKCC or the FISTS buro in the U.S.A. As a last resort I would be willing to send you a direct QSL though I would prefer to avoid this since this would be a little expensive given the 2500 counties I still need to get. But I have no problem to send you a card first. Neither Italy nor the US seem to be countries where mail theft is an issue. I would need a paper card, eQSL or LotW are not ok. Anyway, this is just a reminder in case you do have qsls and you do use the buro. But even if you don't you could help me just be signing my card and telling the data on the card are ok. Of course, it may be your good pleasure not to qsl at all, in this case, it's ok, too. 73, Martin Hello,

this is Martin, IK2RMZ, from Varese province in Northern
Italy. I am a county hunter and I just went thru my old
logs to see what I can find. I sent you a QSL card via
the ARRL buro because your county is still on my wish list
and because we met on air as follows:

YYYYMMDD UTC CALL
20070218 1617 K3CR 15M CW 599
20070317 2152 K3CR 20M CW 599
20091128 1544 K3CR 15M CW 599
20091128 1638 K3CR 20M CW 599

According to my callbook version this is your address
and county:
K3CR Penn State Amateur Radio Club.James K Breakall,Hub Activities
Desk,University Park,, PA 16802 Centre FN10BT

Unfortunately, I haven’t received a qsl despite the
fact that the usual delay time for buro qsls has already
elapsed. If you are not a user of the ARRL buro, you may
use the SKCC or the FISTS buro in the U.S.A. As a last
resort I would be willing to send you a direct QSL though
I would prefer to avoid this since this would be a little
expensive given the 2500 counties I still need to get. But
I have no problem to send you a card first. Neither Italy
nor the US seem to be countries where mail theft is an
issue. I would need a paper card, eQSL or LotW are not ok.

Anyway, this is just a reminder in case you do have qsls
and you do use the buro. But even if you don’t you could
help me just be signing my card and telling the data on
the card are ok. Of course, it may be your good pleasure
not to qsl at all, in this case, it’s ok, too.
