[Dx-qsl] Thank you all for the assistance (was Help needed to findairmail envelopes)

[Bob Nielsen]

I'm not sure airmail envelopes or even rubber stamps are required, at  
least from the U.S.  My local post office provided me with AIRMAIL  
stickers for free, but I noticed on the USPS web site that the  
minimum weight for international surface mail is now 16 ounces and  
the cost for this is much more than that for one ounce letter-post  
(airmail).
