552 bureau cards have been processed and will be sent to the world bureaus in July on our next mailing.
Please remember that you should NOT send ANY DXpedition QSL cards to us Via Bureau. The corect bureau requesting route should only be using OQRS. This will save several years of bureau delivery and will help us significantly in our bureau costs.
Just 8 days after receiving the VK0EK QSL cards from the printer, all 5,956 letters are now ready to be posted on Monday 6th June. Also will be posted are the sponsor packages to GDXF, MDXC, SDXF & DDXG.
Letters should be delivered in 3 to 5 working days for Europe and 5 to 7 working days to the rest or the world depending on the local postal service where you live.
Any delivery issues should be reported to Tim Beaumont M0URX who will resolve any matters that you may have.
Thank you to 2E0SDV Jamie who helped with this posting. Some long hours were spent working to get this mailing out today.
I am currently working on the VK0EK QSL mailing. I expect to post ALL direct QSL cards by mid June. So far 5,500 letters are ready and so are the sponsors packages for GDXF, MDXC, SDXF & DDXG.
Please refrain from emailing me asking when you will get the QSL. The longer I have to spend on answering emails the longer the job takes! Thank you!
LATEST – I expect to post all QSL cards on Monday 6th June.
The recent activity GS0NWM by Tynemouth Amateur Radio Club to Isle of Barra EU-010 made almost 10,000 QSOs and quite a number of QSL requests already received. Here is the QSL preview which is now going to print and will be out in the post in June.
The back of the QSL card also features GS0NWM/P Vatersay Island EU-010.
Please remember that the Bureau QSL is only available by OQRS request. Please do not send your cards. Thanks.
A new advertising flyer for United Radio QSL Bureau and ON5UR Maxi-Print has been designed. These will be posted out with QSL cards soon.
The QSL cards for VK0EK were sent to the print room this week and will shortly be shipped to me for the work in sending out the mailing sometime in June. As there were so many sponsors logos we felt it was necessary to show these on an additional sponsors leaflet that we will send with all direct QSL cards.
Bureau cards will be a single QSL. Bureau QSL is only available by OQRS request.
BT (British Telecom) Have now lost me as a customer this weekend, after a week of disastrous customer service, failed call backs and hours of asking completely irrelevant questions, I may as well have been asked what I had for my Sunday lunch because it was as just as irrelevant as the questions they asked me. The problem started when I changed my password to the BT Yahoo emails on BT Webmail, immediately emails of important transactions failed to appear in my in box, and Yahoo Group emails also failed to arrive….
In the year up to 31/03/2016 the team have posted 28,242 items which is 2,700 fewer than last year. We have supported several large DXpedition teams and single operator stations. The table shows you some of the statistics on our postage volumes over the last year!
If you have a DXpedition and you are looking for a QSL manager that will look after all your QSL matters just drop us a line.
