QSL procedure:
QSL direct or via bureau for W4VKU contacts. My station logs are uploaded to LOTW on a periodic basis for
DXCC and award purposes. I upload eQSL.cc just to help fellow amateurs who use that system, but i track
only DXCC/WAS via LOTW. I prefer LOTW/eQSL due to ease of use.
Direct QSL requests receive immediate attention. US stations, please send me a SASE. Requests from other countries
should be accompanied by a SELF addressed envelope + 1 IRC or $2 US.
My son collects stamps of all countries. If you are sending me some cancelled stamps from any country for his
collection, then please feel free to skip the $ or the 1IRC. We will make sure you get a return card by direct
international mail. The default for missing the requirements above will result in the card getting sent out via the bureau.
Bureau cards get batched and i send them out when i have a good size package.
