Regretfully, I am going to have to raise the price for OQRS QSLs, 
beginning October 4th. PayPal apparently charges a fee, which reduces 
the base OQRS fee to a point that it doesn’t even cover the cost of an 
international stamp, much less the envelope.  The time it takes me to 
verify multiple QSOs, from multiple island locations, etc., is still on 
me, and I’m committed to make that turnaround time as short as is 
humanly possible.  I truly appreciate those who have included even a 
modest donation with their OQRS  and/or direct requests.  You’ve at 
least helped me break even so far, and thanks!

So, on October 4th, I will raise the OQRS price to $2.50 US.  Direct 
mail QSL requests will still be $2.00.  I encourage you to send your 
requests before the 4th in any case; I have a trip planned in mid/late 
October (not radio, just photography and music) that may delay OQRS or 
mail received after mid-October.  If you fall into that gap, don’t 
worry.  You can be assured that I will place a priority on responding to 
QSL requests as long as I’m alive, and will focus on it as soon as I’m 
back home.

Very best regards, and thank you so much for the donations and words of 
support.  I’m very pleased with the number of new island tickers I seem 
to have filled, especially from NA-076.
