[Dx-qsl] RE:IRC Stamp

Sun Mar 30 11:32:20 EST 2008

In the box on the lower left corner of the IRC it says, "Empreinte de 
contrôle du pays d'origine (facultative)", which is French for 
"Control imprint of the country of origin (optional)". Being 
optional, the stamp is not required. Unfortunately, a few countries 
will not accept them without the stamp.
