Hi All

I wish to advise that New Zealand Post will no longer accept the old style 
IRC's.  They will now only accept the larger type with the bar code on the 
reverse side..

This is a policy decision made by New Zealand Post effective 31 Decemebr 2004.

To all those who still require QSL cards from any New Zealand based station or 
New Zealand QSL manager, please send the NEW IRC's which have the expiry date 
of 31.12.2006 on them.

Would you please pass this message on to your ham radio clubs, local ham radio 
newsletters, your packet clusters, branch radio broadcasts  etc etc etc..

We would like to get the message through to the majority of DXers world wide 
and any help in achieving this would be greatly appreciated.

Please note that for the ZL8RI Dxpedition in 1996,  the ZL9CI Dxpedition in 
1999 and the ZL7C Dxpedition to the Chatham Islands in 2002,  the above 
information becomes effective immediately.   All cards receieved which have 
been postmarked after todays date WILL be replied via the bureau if the OLD 
style IRC's are sent with direct QSL card requests.  The same applies for cards 
sent to ZL2HU, ZL4HU  and ZK1KH.

We sincerely appologise for any problems this may cause but this situation is 
well beyond our control.

I would like to remind you all once again that the above decision has been made 
by New Zealand Post Ltd and I am only to willing to answer any questions 
directly and not via any reflectors, clusters etc.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

All the very best and good DXing


Ken Holdom   ZL4HU  also  ZL2HU  and ZK1KH
