AW: [Dxbase] Bad IRCs

[Carsten Esch]

... in fact the 'old' IRCs ARE (or should be) still valid in ALL countries
belonging to the Universal Postal Union although some post offices also her
in Germany do not think so. It takes normally one or two days until they
figure out that they have to take 'the old ones' too.

Betreff: [Dxbase] Bad IRCs


I recently bought a batch of IRCs that were offered on one of the Ham
reflectors, and now have 3 responses that my IRCs are no good. Latest is
from HB9BOU, mgr for 4U60UN/4U1UN. He says that the Swiss post office will
only accept the new larger blue IRCs. One south Pacific DX station was
pretty nasty about me offloading useless IRCs on him.

I have received a few responses from my mailings, but then I also included
green stamps in cards I really needed, so not sure if any have come back
that only had the IRCs. How many just threw my card away? Guess I'll never
know.

Beware what type of IRCs you get/use...
