Re: [amsat-bb] Foreign QSL handling

[Emily Clarke <w0eec@xxxxxxxxx>]

The best way to handle these is generally not to put US postage on the 
SASE.  It won't work.  You can send a International Reply Coupon (IRC), but 
those are more expensive.  What I have done is write to hams I know well in 
those countries and ask them to buy postage for me.  Unfortunately I 
currently have about 15 Canadian 80 cent stamps (Postage to the US) that 
just increased to 85 cents.  So I'll be sending another 20$US to Canada for 
85 cent stamps and 5 cent stamps so I can use the rest of the 80 cent stamps.

You can use the bureau for Canada and Mexico, but remember they take a long 
time.
