ARISS-Europe QSL Manager F1MOJ (See: http://www.ariss-eu.org/qslbureau.htm

==> RICHARD GARRIOTT QSL CARD
QSO
Results: Richard made over 500 voice QSOs during his flight, clearly more
than any single ham has made on-orbit during a short duration mission.
And he sent down about 1000 SSTV images during his flight.
QSL Card: Those that had a QSO with Richard can receive an ARISS QSL card
using the normal ARISS process. (See: http://www.ariss-eu.org/qslbureau.htm ). Richard
Garriott is also planning a personal card which is in development. Once
it is developed, they will be shipped to the QSL Manager for
distribution. The current plan is that those that have already sent in
for an ARISS QSL card will also get a Richard Garriott personal card once it is
available. If you made a contact with Richard, have not sent in your QSL,
and would like Richard's personal QSL card, please stand by for QSL
distribution instructions until the QSL card is ready. The distribution
of this special QSL will parallel how we are distributing the 25th Anniversary
Certificate.
