[Dx-qsl] Free Buro's

[Mathieu Van Campenhout]

Ron.
What you mean by free ?.
Free not exist, somebody have to pay for it. To speak we have also a free 
qsl bureau, can sent and receive so many we like.
Of course it is like in the Netherlands and Japan and others with similar 
system, you have to be a member of the national society ( IARU) here it is 
UBA. Cost is for 2004 normal member 42. euro ( 40$) and for second member of 
the family 23 euro ( 20$) so we pay here 42+23 ( my xyl, ON4QP ) 75 euro. 
This is  not so free, hi.. ( would you like to be a member here it cost you 
45 euro )
In the Membership fee, one of the fevers, the qsl-service., the rest for 
what the fee is needed we are not counting, hi, so long the qsl-service is 
working
Each month at the club meeting our local qsl-manger collect our qsl's. After 
sorting by country the are packed and send  to our national qsl bureau, and 
each month all local clubs( about 90 in ON) receive from the national bureau 
a box of qsl's who are distributed at the monthly club meeting ( no 
envelopes ), I know the situation very well we had the national qsl's bureau 
here for 11 years, and been still the qsl manager of our local club.
I believe if all radioamateur in there own country would pay for the 
national society the fee have not to be so high. This is a other discussion, 
hi.
Greetings
Mat
