Greetings from Cuenca, Ecuador !! I have the pleasure to inform you that I now hold the ex-callsign of my father "Alfo", HC5AI (sk). My brother Rene, KC2RG, and I are both CW DXers thanks to the teachings and guidancefrom our father.

I am able to confirm all new QSO's with me asHC5AI and also any old QSO that you may have had with my father, "Alfo".

Please send your QSL viaDIRECT ONLY. The HC bureau only functions to receive cards from DX countries. There is no outgoing bureau from Ecuador any longer.

SAE + $2.00 U. S. or 1 new IRC/properly stamped. Any IRC that is not properly validated will result in no QSL. Old IRC's will not be accepted either.

73 and good DXing! Pablo - HC5AI
