[Dx-qsl] QSLs received via bureau

Thu Oct 10 07:07:00 2002

Egbert,
Being chronically underfunded many QSL bureus simply stopped sending 
qsl cards. Instead they opt for 'hand-in-hand' QSL cards transfer.
This typically happens during Hamventions, or when someone is visiting
another contry.
Consequently, you may perceive it being received via the bureau, when in
effect there was a whole lot of different hand-offs behind the scene.
This is going to become more and more common practice, rather than
exception.
