[Dx-qsl] Re: [dx-list] QSL Submission Question and XF4IH

I have seen many, many emails regarding non receipt of the 2004 XF4IH 
QSL's. Looks like there is definitely a problem. Seems if they went 
to all the trouble to go there and made some very nice web sites they 
would do something to protect their incoming mail better. If their 
mail is being intercepted before they get it then then they have lost 
100's, if not 1000's of Dollars sent to them. Seems most people have 
sent at least one USD, I sent 5 USD for my 5 contacts just to help 
with expenses, others sent more.
Maybe some early QSl'ers got their cards before the Post Office there 
discovered this gold mine of USD going to XE1IH's mail box.
I have CC:'ed all the XF4IH ops in the hopes they can correct the mail 
theft situation if that is the problem.
I notice that not only USA hams are reporting not getting their cards 
but also hams from Europe and South America, so it is not just mail 
with USA stamps being intercepted. I wonder if XE1IH is getting any 
of his mail at all if the postal workers suspect there are Dollars inside.
