[Dx-qsl] IARU-member society in Colombia to be dissolved.

[N7DC@cs.com]

200 members?   Hmmmm we had about 20 or 25 at the most in Hong Kong.  We had 
enough money to just rent a PO box, and monthly during HARTS meetings we 
sorted thru and took our cards.   I had a manager, so didn't get many cards, 
but a few did come thru that way.  Everyone sent their own cards out, either 
direct by a supplied SASE or just stuck a stamp on the card itself.  With 
that small number, you would think that a couple of them still could act as 
buro, at least for inbound cards, but then what would they do for postage 
outbound.  OH Well.  Its truly bad news, and I would guess that might happen 
again to several other countries.  
   Fred, does this mean, since there is to no longer be a HK organization, 
there will no longer be an IARU member from Colombia?  Is that a vote lost 
from S. America when the ITU meets to determine frequency assignments/line 
ups?  Wonder how long they have been in existence?  Who will speak for the 
amateurs there now?
   I guess that we would need a couple of hundred new QSL manager/operator 
agreements in order to get cards in and out more easily (and cheaper).
