9U4U QSL Cards Posted

P1000219
Tuesday 9th April 2013 – 2,724 letters have been posted today containing mostly 9U4U QSL cards. Last night I worked through the night to capture the latest QSL requests before taking all the mail to the local sorting office this afternoon.
 
There are about 100 9U4U letters containing “multi QSL requests” that I have held back waiting for the 9M4SLL and XW8XZ QSL cards to be printed before posting can be done. If you have requested 9U4U along with those QSL cards then your cards will be posted soon.
 
I expect to post all Bureau cards direct to World Bureaus during May.
 
Many thanks to Charles, M0OXO, and Chris, G1VDP, for their excellent help last weekend in preparing the posting. Thank you!

OLD IRC’s – What to do with them?

IRC Old
The search is on to find unwanted, expired OLD IRC’s. Do you have any of the old yellow style or even the really old blues, or how about any out of date CN01 style IRC’s? 
Please have a look in your drawers or hidden away in the radio shack.
 
Although I CANNOT accept them as part of return postage, I would like to collect them here and send them to the UPU. All money cashed in will be used to pay for the printing of QSL cards for forthcoming DXpeditons and also used to pay for the Bureau postage costs sending all our QSL cards to the World Bureaus.
