[Dx-qsl] UK Postal Increases for 2012

[Tom Wylie]

To come into effect from 30 April 2012...

There now appears to be no distinction between Europe and the Rest of 
the World.

A 10gm envelope  (  airmail type envelope and ONE qsl card)    will now 
cost  87p to Europe and World Zones 1 and 2.

A 20gm envelope    will cost 87p Europe and £1.28 for World Zones 1 and 2.

In effect this means that

10gms   =    0.35 ounces
20gms   =    0.70 ounces

Therefore for a US station to send for a QSL to a UK station  (Great 
Britain and Northern Ireland)       $2 is the absolute minimum for
return postage, but if you use thick envelopes or expect MORE THAN ONE 
CARD in the same envelope, then depending
on return weight,    $2 may be insufficient postage, so I would suggest 
$3.....

Dont shoot me I'm just the messenger.     There should be no effect on 
IRCs, but I haven't delved into the Royal mail Web Site as yet.
