[Dx-qsl] 1 or 2 USD

[Osten B Magnusson]

Friends!

What I said was that the dollar value has gone down very much
lately, and 1 USD does NOT cover postage to any country from
here in Sweden, and as Rag, LA5HE, said, it's the same in
Norway, and I think in most countries in northern Europe.=20
BUT I also said that one IRC is OK for priority mail up to 20 grams.

I find it hard to understand DX'ers with new IC756PRO's and
several towers with beams etc. at real high costs are not
willing to pay small amounts for postage...  Do it my way, use
an old TenTec Corsair II with an FL2100z and wire antennas
and you will have no problems with postage. You will work
as much DX as the ''big guns'' without all the ''features'' in the
newer expensive equipment. If you have moeny left use it for
good antennas, if you can't hear the DX you can't work it, and
if not worked you have also saved the postage money, hi.

Good luck with DX and 73 de Osten SM5DQC
