I was informed at the Post Office today that the next stage of the withdrawal of International Reply Coupons from the UK will soon take place.
“QSL Via M0URX” will now be phasing out the use of IRC’s for exchanging QSL cards.
I will continue to sell IRC’s for the time being while I have stock.
This is completely out of my control so I am sorry that as from the end of 2012 NO IRC’s will be accepted.
I do not have a date that the Post Office will stop accepting IRC’s it is likely that the service will just be withdrawn without notice.
QSL exchange will be $2 by post or OQRS €2.
United Radio QSL Bureau have a number of IRC’s For Sale worldwide.
Re-circulated IRC’s (Correctly stamped & Valid until 31/12/2013) GBP £1.10 each + Postage + a small Paypal charge,
I will post to anywhere in the World.
If you want to buy IRC’s please send me an email on “Contact M0URX” Page. I will quote you on the price for the amount of IRC’s that you want to purchase.

Another QSL card in the printroom is 5B/G4MKP, Terry was QRV from Cyprus during August. The QSL card will be available from mid September. I always ask the operators that I am QSL manager for to make sure that they take high resolution images, the final finish has a much sharper QSL card and with some very skillful design work by Max, ON5UR the QSL looks excellent!
I have had several emails asking about the curent situation with QSL cards. All 5B/G4MKP, 9M4SLL & CY9M QSL cards will be out by the end of September.
The Bureau dispatch to all World Bureaus is also still on schedule for end of September.
Here is the CY9M direct QSL card preview. Cards will be posted out in the last weeks of September.
Please note that the Bureau QSL will be a single 2 sided QSL. The OQRS is open for Direct and Bureau QSL requests. I have scheduled the Bureau cards to be posted direct to World Bureaus at the end of September.
