[Dx-qsl] UK Postal Increases for 2012

Tue Mar 27 07:30:56 EDT 2012

To come into effect from 30 April 2012...
There now appears to be no distinction between Europe and the Rest of 
the World.
A 10gm envelope ( airmail type envelope and ONE qsl card) will now 
cost 87p to Europe and World Zones 1 and 2.
A 20gm envelope will cost 87p Europe and £1.28 for World Zones 1 and 2.
In effect this means that
10gms = 0.35 ounces
20gms = 0.70 ounces
Therefore for a US station to send for a QSL to a UK station (Great 
Britain and Northern Ireland) 2ドル is the absolute minimum for
return postage, but if you use thick envelopes or expect MORE THAN ONE 
CARD in the same envelope, then depending
on return weight, 2ドル may be insufficient postage, so I would suggest 
3ドル.....
Dont shoot me I'm just the messenger. There should be no effect on 
IRCs, but I haven't delved into the Royal mail Web Site as yet.
