[Dx-qsl] V51AS address

Recorded delivery is not avialable to all countries, mainly counties that
had a British influence. It is basically the same as registered except it is
not insured. You have to check the service 
available for the country you are sending to on the USPS web site. It is
available to Namibia 
including return receipt which I received back 1 week before I received
Frank's card.
If I remember cost was less than 5ドル including air mail postage and return
receipt.
To date I have had 100% return when I used it.

I got a card from Frank about 3 years ago without using either 
registered mail or recorded delivery. I used the European size nested 
envelopes, and I wrapped up the QSL and the dollar bills or IRC (don't 
recall which I used) in a sheet of paper. But I was probably just lucky, 
because it is well known that he has a problem with his mail being 
pilfered.
You are the first person I've heard of who used recorded delivery. Maybe 
it IS as good as registered, or maybe you were lucky like me. It will be 
interesting to hear what result other have with recorded delivery.
I have resorted to registered mail several times for cards I needed from 
Russia. I have had 100% success in getting the QSLs, but the return 
receipt for the registered mail never comes back from Russia.
