The USA is not alone in increasing postal costs. http://www.qsl.net/w9ol/IRC_Chart.htm A lot of changes among World Postal Costs. I still have big holes in the data of many DX entities and still have some old data. If you have a friend or are a qsl manager for a station, please ask them to forward any updated postal costs to me. pse and thank you.
