Hello Nigel For many years I used SASE. I had accounts with both the Canadian and US postal services. I now just email a reception report. I get a QSL in hours rather than days hi! I print off the reply under the station banner from their website to individualise the email. This is not always necessary. 1470 WMBD sent a pdf letter as did 1470 XERCN. The guys at the station seem to prefer this approach. Cheers Barry :-)

In part he said: "I can only respond to QSL requests (other than via e-mail) that include a SASE. The time involved is just too great otherwise. Also, if money of any kind is sent, it is really a big time waster. No money!" Probably pretty good advice for reporting to most stations. I've used SASEs to all US and Canadian stations for a number of years, and 90% of the time they are used. . 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta, Canada _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected] _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
