[Dx-qsl] 2 IRC needed list?

Tue Feb 17 15:38:05 2004

In the UK, one IRC will pay for 10 grams (that's less than 0.5 ounces) 
of intercontinental postage, which is roughly equivalent to two normal 
sized cards.  Each member country of the UPU appears to be able to set 
its own minimum.  For mail to European countries, one IRC will pay for 
20 grams ( that's still less than 1.0 ounce)

If you send for more cards for more than one station, or for multiple 
QSOs with a single station, as so many people seem to do these days, you 
need to include a second (and maybe a third) IRC to cover the extra 
weight involved.

Hope this helps.
