[Dx-qsl] Re: Postage from Germany to the USA

[Peter Dougherty]

The stamp needed to mail from Germany to the US or Canada is 1 Euro 53,=20
which translates into roughly $1.82 USD.

I have had 100% success using German mint stamps for every card I send to a=

manager/station in Germany. These stamps are readily available from Bill=20
Plum and others, and also from the German post office (sorry, don't have=20
the URL handy).

I always keep about 10 German, 10 British and 10 Spanish stamps on hand for=

QSLing. This method tends to generate 100% returns, usually in good time.

Germany is =801,53 (that should be a Euro sign in front of the 1)
Spain is =800,76
UK is =A30.47p
