QSL Card

Today I received a QSL card direct from Daniel, HB9TUD along with a nice note. As well as the card the envelope contained something I have not seen for a long time- An International Reply Coupon or IRC. It will be interesting to see if my local post office knows what it is- it is intended to cover the cost of an airmail reply. IRCs were, as I recall, almost a sort of currency at one time in the amateur radio/shortwave listening world. Also compliments must go to the Post Office who managed to deliver the card despite a rather incomplete address!

  1. Steve, GW7AAV didn't have much luck with an IRC, apparently.

  3. Hello Kevin, it has been a long time I saw a IRC myself. I think it was in the seventies. ;-) 73 Paul
