Already have Angola QSL'd here, Radio Nacional, Dec. 5, 1986, on 4952.
That's amazing, I have to tip my hat at your QSLing abilities.
Angola at that time was involved in a raging war with UNITA and the country
was in chaos, so I am amazed that you got anyone there to reply to you.

Tell us how you did it, as, believe me, it just didn't happen?
Did you send the QSL in Portuguese? Did you send a reward?
Mostly, if you included a dollar they would pocket it and you would never
hear from them.....

I went and dug out a copy of my original report and it was in Portuguese. If I
recall correctly I probably sent mint stamps for them to use in reply.

As it was the 5th of December I may have been on a DXpedition over on the east
side of the state.

QSL'ing used to be a lot easier.
