[Dx-qsl] EP3SMH

[k4hb]

There's many comments on the cluster about EP3SMH wanting an outrageous number of green stamps for a QSL card. He once had on his QRZed page to send $10, now he wants $9 + an IRC. According to the information on the official Iranian postage site and the current exchange rate, $10 will only cover surface mail to the US. To send airmail would require $13. Their rates are listed here, and the link to their postage page is provided.   http://www.k4hb.com/postage.html

According to cluster spots, he appears to be Iran's most active ham on HF. I'm sure many would be happy if he got a manager or got on LoTW, but of course that's his choice. I searched to find Iranian ops
 with mangers or those who upload to LoTW, and it's slim pickings. Things thin out even more when searching the last time they were spotted. Found only one who uploads to LoTW, and two with managers who have been spotted this year. I'm aware that not being spotted doesn't necessarily mean a station wasn't on the air.
