Re: [DX-CHAT] QSL mamangers around the world in countries with reliable mail service willing to help
You know I've always done this because opthers have told me to do it. However, it begs the question: Where do the letters go (by what route) if they DON'T say Via France on them? What route do they take when they DO say that? 73, Zack W9SZ On Sat, 15 Nov 2008, DAVE WHITE wrote: Hi Barry, Strangely I've had no problems with FR5DX eitheronce I learned to write REUNION ISLAND, FRANCE, or VIA FRANCE on the envelope.

Re: [DX-CHAT] QSL mamangers around the world in countries with reliable mail service willing to help
Hell, that's a good queston, Zack. I'd assume that they go via Madagascar or perhaps Kenya or South Africa. La Poste France deliver direct to French possessions without the use of third parties as far as I know. Next time I speak to FR5DX (actually I've not heard him for ages - is he still active or back in France??) I'll ask him. FR1AN seems pretty active but he doesn't seem to appear on the bands much for Euope openings (I can't blame him avoiding the Italian Muppet Show we have to contend with every time DX appears) and uses a US QSL manager. Maybe you can ask him. It'll annoy me now I don't know the answer :-) cheers Dave --- On Sat, 15/11/08, Zack Widup [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Zack Widup [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] QSL mamangers around the world in countries with reliable mail service willing to help To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Date: Saturday, 15 November, 2008, 7:34 PM You know I've always done this because opthers have told me to do it.

Re: [DX-CHAT] QSL mamangers around the world in countries with reliable mail service willing to help
I have a feeling it goes via France, anyway. Since Reunion is a French possession, why would it go any other way? The mail travels via airplane and Air France has most of the flights in and out of there. I wonder if the via instructions are simply ignored as irrelevant. Kinda like sending something via Fedex Express. Whether it's going to a neighboring state or across the country, it still goes via Memphis. OTOH, I wonder if routing instructions on an envelope to an independent country, such as JT , makes a difference.
