[Dx-qsl] Japanese Stations

[Alfred Laun]

Let's give the Japanese ops their due in a couple of areas though.   (I
operate also as HS0ZAR and we work a lot of JA's from there).

1.  How do those JA's get these pristine, absolutely spotless green stamps
when I can't get them from my own bank here in the U.S.?

2. At least Japan still sells IRC's, which are still required by some
managers in CIS countries.
