Received this QSL in its own envelope for a reception report of an eclipse related catch.  They faded in just before the eclipse and were received very well during our 92% blockage of the sun for about a half hour.  They are normally received here this time of year until mid-morning and then again closer to dusk.  A pair of cordial emails preceded QSL.  Eleven days turn around time on QSL.
