EXCHANGING QSL CARDS THE OLD WAY! To many hams, receiving a “hard Copy” QSL card can be both exciting and substantiate the sometimes hard work to make that rare contact.

For those who prefer to send an envelope with small numbers of cards: • $2 for 10 or fewer cards in one envelope, • $3 for 11 -20 cards in one envelope, or For packages with larger numbers of cards: • 80 cents per ounce, for packages with 21 or more cards. For example, a package containing 1. 5 pounds of cards -- 24 ounces, or about 225 cards -will cost $19. 20. Please see table below for additional pricing details. The minimum charge is
