[Dx-qsl] US Postal rates are going up again

[AA5AM - Scott Armstrong]

Hi Paul,

Sorry. No I don't have any additional information regarding the mailing
rates.  The P.O. will release that information next month.    I figure
everything is going to increase due to fuel prices, etc. similar to the one
just announced in Canada.
