[DX-CHAT] Re: IRCs agn...

2009-10-09 Thread John Warren


I continue to be amazed at the effort which some DXers make trying to  
understand and use IRCs. I would never even contemplate buying or  
using one.  Just the good old green stamps for me. Every once in a  
while I re-stock with $2 bills from my bank (plus some extra $1s for  
DL). Seem to work perfectly everywhere, including places where they  
are said to be illegal.  Those folks don't hoard them, they just  
recirculate them for their own QSLing.  Has anyone ever heard of a  
DXer being jailed for receiving $2 in a QSL ? And my return ratio for  
cards which I really need is 100%.  And then of course there's  
LoTW.


Same goes for mint postage stamps.  How do you keep track of the  
weekly increases in postage rates ?


73,  John,  NT5C.

I certainly agree with John -NT5C.

Why anyone would bother with IRC' s has always surprised me. I' ve used 
nothing but $ 1.00 and $ 2.00 US currency for all of the dx qsl' ing I' ve 
done, which has encompassed # 1 Honor Roll.
Why bother with trying to educate the postal service about their own 
products when its just not necessary.

Each to his own, though, I suppose.

73,
Kent - K4MK
