wrote in message .. . Hi, I'm a new general and just made my first South American contact. I need the details of appropriate QSLing. I have the name and address of the individual I contacted. He names a QSL manager in his QRZ profile page. My assumption is I would send the QSL card to the manager. Is this right? Sorry for the dumb question. I'm just getting started in this hobby. Thanks, Paul KD5LAR Yup, you got it right. Let's assume the manager is in the US. Include a self addressed stamped envelope so he can send the QSL to you. Also nice to include a bit of money to help cover the managers expenses. Perhaps $1 would be appropriate ... hence the term "green stamp". If the manager is outside the US the same ideas apply, but do include something to cover the cost of postage and QSL card to help out the manager. If you are not real concerned about getting the QSL quickly, as in "Oh, nice QSO, but my 147th PY contact" then you might send a QSL via the bureau and will likely get one back eventually. I've done a lot of DXing recently but have not been all that concerned about QSLs ... have a 50 year collection of them ... so others may be able to provide more up to date comments on current practices. Those first DX QSLs are sure nice to have though! I still have my first "Worked All Continents" QSLs neatly mounted in a little frame I can hang on the wall :-) -- ...
