[Dx-qsl] Several IRCs

Sat Aug 5 22:19:13 EDT 2006

I know it is true, but it is so stupid for people to get on the air and 
work DX and not have envelopes or money on hand with their QSL Buro. I 
know it happens as I used to be a card sorter helper and for many cards 
we got from the buro there was no envelope on file for the receiptant.
On a similar note I received today a QSL from another USA ham in the 
form of a post card. He asked PLSE QSL NV FOR WAS! Had he sent his QSL 
in an envelope along with a SASE he would have received a nice full 
color picture card with the QSL info on the back. Since I can't mail 
these two sided cards as a post card he will just get a cheaper plain 
vanilla one sided card with the back side blank that can be sent as a 
post card.
