[SFDXA] Fwd: DX QSL to Russia

[Randy Shirley]

Yes Eric!

Maybe I should have sent something out before.  I ran into this while 
trying to print international stamps on Stamps.com.  They asked where 
the mail was going to and I said "Russia" since the DX station had a 
Russian manager.  It would not let me print and I couldn't figure out 
what was wrong.  I thought it was a software problem.  I then moved on 
and tried to print an international stamp for "Germany" and it went 
through as it was supposed to.

I researched it and found what you have listed here.  No mail to Russia 
except to the diplomats.

I emailed the Russian manager and he said to use "my friends in 
Europe!"  I searched "my friends in Europe" to see what it was, and got 
no definitive hits.  Maybe I could email one of the big managers in EU 
and offer them a few Euro via PayPal to handle sending the envelope to 
Russia.

I'm still holding the QSL for now. I would probably hold bureau cards to 
Russia as well until this war blows over.

I will let you know if I come up with a solution after emailing a few EU 
managers.

Very 73,
Randy N4QV
