Re: Re: [DX-CHAT] St. Helena Island ZD7
I think the problem does lie with the US Postal system and likely is South Atlantic Ocean as the last line in the address. I spoke with someone at the Washington DC postal HQ and was essentially told the last line in the address shoulkd be the destination country, and 'South Atlantic Ocean' is not a country. So I have decided to try VIA UK in hopes that the Royal Mail has a better notion of how to get the mail delivered. 8^) 73, Jerry K3BZ - Original Message - From: David McAulay [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2006 10:07 PM Subject: Fwd: Re: [DX-CHAT] St. Helena Island ZD7 Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Bruce Salt [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: DAVE WHITE [EMAIL PROTECTED], David McAulay [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] St. Helena Island ZD7 Date: Thu, 18 May 2006 23:36:56 - X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2869 X-NAIMIME-Disclaimer: 1 X-NAIMIME-Modified: 1 X-Server: High Performance Mail Server - http://surgemail.com r=174222708 X-Authenticated-User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi fellas, It's exactly like Dave G0IOL has written, the fault lies in the US Postal service and it's getting much more frequent now and someone needs to put a stop to it.

Re: [DX-CHAT] St. Helena Island ZD7
A friend of mine from Zimbabwe visited a while back and we went to the USPS to mail a package home. The idiot at the counter was adamant that there was no such place as Zimbabwe and we nearly had to get a supervisor before the package was accepted. That was a topic of conservation for the rest of the visit. Tom N4TJ
