PRINTER RECOMMENDATIONS (Related OT Question)


 

Hi Folks:

A related question here -- I understand using buro cards for DX (from the US) but is there a way to do buro cards within the usa also? I have some I'll be sending direct, but I also have a bunch that I just want to send buro cards to

You can not send cards for U.S. stations through the ARRL Outgoing QSL Service.? There is one exception.? If the DX station has a U.S. QSL manager, you can use the ARRL Outgoing QSL Service to forward the cards to the domestic manager.

From the FAQ at :

"Question: Can I QSL US Amateurs through the Bureau system?

Answer: No you cannot send cards to other US hams through the Bureau
UNLESS you or the other station was DX at the time and your QSL card
indicates this. (ex. you make a contact with XE/K1TLK or you are in
Mexico and your QSL card indicates that is where you were at the time
of the contact.)

Note: DX means anything outside the 48 contiguous states, which means
you can send cards for Alaskan and Hawaiian calls as well as those for
US territories or military bases through the outgoing bureau. (The
prefixes for these areas are as follows: All AL, KL, NL, WL, AH, KH,
NH, WH, KP, NP, WP calls as wells as KG4x2 calls (ex. KG2SV), KA6x2
calls and KA2x2 calls.) Please refer to the "Countries Not Served"
list on the Outgoing QSL Service information sheet because there are a
few US territories we can not forward to."

So it'd be OK for 8P9RY, but not AA6YQ.

The ARRL Outgoing QSL system is for NON USA qsls cards only.

The rule is as Iain pointed out - I had a conversation with someone about 6 months ago at ARRL HQ about it. I have gotten a rare occasional card for a US station that was not for my DX calls however. Probably just slipped through.
