[Dx-qsl] ircs agn...

Sat Jan 28 12:49:40 EST 2006

Just got an email from a guy instructing abt how to send for a qsl for 6o0n.
Brings up a question that I did not consider b4. Mentioned in the email
from the qsl source for 6o0n is the fact that there are divisions of ircs
per their country of issue. He specifically mentions 3 types of IRC.
1) Italian
2) European
3) USA/JA
He states that Italian IRC is just good for a reply to Italy. He states
that a EU IRC is good for a reply to EU. He states that USA/JA IRC is ok
for all other places. At least that is the way that the qsl source for 6o0n
views the situation. Please forgive me if I have read something into this
that is not true. Maybe I have read the information provided incorrectly.
Let me know what y'all think pse...text provided below from orig
email...73/dx
The following 6O0N QSL criteria was copied from their
website. Pay attention again to the different values
assigned to IRCs of different country origin.
1 All submissions must include a self-addressed envelope and
sufficient value to cover mailing expenses.
2 Submit only ONE QSL for callsign.
3 Submit QSL requests for THIS DXpedition ONLY.
4 Do not affix to the return envelope not-Italian stamps
All QSL requests not complying with the above rules will be
confirmed via the bureau.
1 IRC covers priority mail to the country of origin
1 Italian IRC corresponds to 0.60E
1 European IRC corresponds to 0.62E
1 USA or JA IRC corresponds to 0.80E
1 Italian IRC covers reply postage to Italy.
1 European IRC covers reply postage to Europe.
1 USA or JA IRC covers reply postage to anywhere in the
world
There is no mention of what other countries (i.e. Canada)
IRC are worth.
