assumed management of the ARRL KH6 QSL Bureau on 1 April 2008. We
receive QSL
cards from other bureaus around the world and redistribute them from
our base
in
There are
guidelines for the use of
the incoming QSL service on the ARRL website at: www.arrl.org/qsl/qslin
but here is some
additional information specific to KH6.
1. Rather than
sending self
addressed envelopes and stamps, we recommend that bureau users
establish money
credits to enable best utilization of your funds. This will allow us to
provide
proper mailer and exact postage for the amount of cards being shipped
to you,
independent of current and future price increases on stamps and
regulations of
thickness of envelopes, etc. Checks can be made out to KH6 Hawaii QSL
Bureau,
and mailed to:
KH6
2. We are
receiving cards from QSL
Bureaus for KH6/ callsigns that have European, JA and
3. If you do not
want to receive
bureau cards, please notify Barbara Darling NH7FY by mail at the bureau
address, or by email at: nh7fy@yahoo.com .
Your notification on qrz.com that “NO
BUREAU CARDS will be accepted” will not prevent those cards from
arriving. If
you choose not to receive bureau cards, cards that are received for you
will be
stamped “Direct Only, No Bureau Cards” and returned to the sender via
the ARRL
QSL Bureau System. If you change your mind and want those cards, you
must
notify NH7FY as described above.
At some time in
the future the Big
Island Amateur Radio Club website, www.biarc.net,
will be updated to include information about the KH6
Hawaii QSL Bureau.
Any concerns
regarding the KH6 Hawaii
QSL Bureau operation should be directed to Barbara Darling at nh7fy@yahoo.com, or
to the bureau address.

Aloha,
