[Dx-qsl] Query: How do you prefer a donation (for QSL Managers)

Wed Mar 27 15:23:00 2002

Its really quite simple.  Of all the countries in which I have lived or traveled, the American Express Money Order has been king.  I have never had one turned down, even in some really small villages in the back of nowhere, as long as there is a  bank or money exchange present.  Most capitals have their own AMX bank wich handles foreign exchange.
