Right on Ron, Dave, Doug.  SAEs are important QSL tools. Remember some 
time ago an Egyptian station ending in ZZ said to send a certain sized 
envelope as his QSL was oversized.  I did and he did! I believe he was a 
EU Ham temporarily in Egypt.  Kenji's idea of adding double sided tape 
to appropriate envelopes sounds good too! Tnx Kenji!
73, gud dx!
