He told me that if he ever does figure it out, he'll let me exchange them for stamps. I got tired of waiting and sold them. Many U.S. post offices are fine when it comes to buying IRC's but when it comes to exchanging one for stamps, forget it...... 73, Jim KH2D |

when it comes to exchanging one for stamps, forget it...... I've gotten my best, fastest return QSL results using Bill Plum's foreign postage stamps. He is quick to turn around an order. I usually go in on an order with a friend of mine who's a DXer, so we save a bit on p/h charges too. I've gotten cards from Europe and Asia as quick as two weeks by using return foreign postage. Since I don't always "need" a card that quickly, though, I send most of mine through the bureau. Jackie |

Have your Post Office Clerk go to USPS URL:

The coupon is sold by post offices worldwide. Worked for me, after I reminded them that the USA was a member country of the Universal Postal Union !! Hi Hi All about postage at URL: http://ac6v.com/callbooks.htm#SERV And IRC's are now $1.75 -- see USPS Publication 51 Also many European QSL Managers are now accepting Euro's -- 73 From The Signal In The Noise Caveat Lector Ya All --------------------------- wrote in message . ..
