And where do the QSL managers get them so cheap? From hams
who send them? Why aren't the QSL managers using them as intended, that is to send a QSL direct to the ham that provided that IRC and the envelope. Are the QSL managers keeping the IRCs and sending the QSLs via the bureau? That would be quite unethical. Umm.. An overseas ham sends the QSL manager an IRC. The manager doesn't (although could) take that to the post office and exchange it for an airmail stamp. The manager buys stamps at the post office using his/her local currency. So the ham gets her or his direct QSL reply, and the manager has effectively bought the IRC for 80 cents. The manager can then re-sell the IRC to other DXers for 80 cents (or a little over in order to bring in a few cents towards ongoing cost of buying cards, or sending cards via buro when they arrive that way). Or, of course, the manager can keep the IRC for her/his own QSLing purposes. Nobody has been cheated out of anything (unless you count the post office, who sells the things for $1.75!). Derek aa5bt |
