Please, DO NOT send to the VP9, W4 or G bureaux you will not receive a reply.
VP9GE is NOT my QSL manager, just my host.

The best way to make sure your QSL card gets to me and my reply gets to you:

QSLs - Why no IRCs?
Discussion amongst many DXers in NA/SA have shown that the USPS is making it VERY hard to encash IRCs since 2007-01-02. 

In fact, although they are supposed to sell them, they have no idea what they are.

QSLs - Why SAE?
If you send a self addressed envelope it makes returning a QSL to you VERY easy and VERY much less prone to errors. There's absolutely no need to put the senders address on the top left of the envelope. If you put your own it will freak out the USPS (since 2001-09-11 they delay or destroy many sent this way). I have my own stamper and if you put your address there, I will just have to black it out anyway. 

It makes life much easier if you include a self-adhesive envelope. It saves those tongue paper cuts which are truly awful. Buy a supply of them, other DX stations will like you for it.

QSLs - Why so much money?
The rate for sending a letter from the USA to outside the USA increased from US$0.66 to US$0.98 after 2007-01-01 (and to even Canada to US$0.75). A HUGE increase. The cost (at the lowest price possible) of a full colour QSL card is US$0.08. If you send US$2 and SAE it helps a lot!!!! Sending one from VP9 costs well in excess of US$2. A very complex calculator for USA mailing can be found here.

QSLs - Why no bureau?
Handling cards via the USA, Bermuda or British bureaux is just too time consuming at the rate at which cards would be received (many per day).

QSLs - Why none sent out from me?
I gave up DX chasing at least 20 years ago. If you want a card, you'll get one, but I don't send any out unless I receive one first.

Please absolutely no IRCs, but include US$2 to help defray expenses.

Thank you. Please check the FAQ.

QSL cards are printed and being shipped direct.
