[QSL-Managers] What to do?

Sun, 7 Dec 2003 06:58:13 -0600

Hi Lou!

It's not a problem.  I was thrown a bit too when I first started getting
cards from US stations for DX stations I manage.  Here's the scoop direct
from the ARRL FAQ's for the Outgoing QSL Service:

Question: Can I send QSL cards to US QSL Managers through the Bureau?

Answer: Yes you can as long as you or the station you made contact with was
outside the 48 contiguous states at the time.

Question: Can I QSL US Amateurs through the Bureau system?

Answer: No you cannot send cards to other US hams through the Bureau UNLESS
you or the other station was DX at the time and your QSL card indicates
this. (ex. you make a contact with XE/K1TLK or you are in Mexico and your
QSL card indicates that is where you were at the time of the contact.)

Hope that clears things up for you!

73, John

Subject: [QSL-Managers] What to do?

I worked from ZF2LM and I am receiving cards via Bureau from US stations.

What am I to do. Spend 7 cent to mail my card? 

When I need a card from a U.S. station, I send SASE.

How can I use US bureau to send my US cards?
