    QSLs

    Since trading in a semi-rare prefix for a more mundane 1x2, I've gotten used to going from being a little bit in demand by prefix hunters to pretty much not at all.

    So when I received an email from a German ham the other day, informing me that he'd sent me a QSL via the buro, and asking for one in return, I didn't think too much of it.

    I've now had about a dozen requests like this, all from Europe, over the last couple of days.

    Just seems a bit... unusual.

    Anyone know of anything that's going on? Or is this just an amazing coincidence?

    There is a resurgence in all things science in Germany and it's spreading across the UK. It's like when we here used to see continuing education PSAs back in the day.
