VT1AB 1951 Kuwait

Here, in brief, is the story from Kuwait, as told by VT1AC and 1AF.
First, VT1DF was genuine but didn't QSL and is now off the air. Secondly, VT1AB, lAC and 1AF are all active now, 1AB being on 20-metre phone only.
They have not been licensed in the strictly official sense of the word, but they are "regularised," so to speak, and the call-signs were issued by a responsible person.
But they have recently heard that their official licences are coming through from Bahrein, although they don't know what the prefix will be, VT was more or less brilliant guesswork!
Sidelight on the trials of being a DX station: VT1AF remarked that he was awaiting his QSL's, at 30s, a hundred!

The VT1AB QSL card in my collection (W5KNE) has "claimed to be between Kuwait and Saudi" written across the back of the card.
It was probably written by W5BGP, who received the card.
