Policy
From 2006 my QSL policy (with special
made full colour paper QSL cards) is to answer only
direct QSL cards that I receive for contacts with any of my callsigns
outside of Sweden. All
incoming direct cards, received not
later than two years after the contact, will be checked carefully to ensure that the
QSO appears in my computer log.
Incoming cards via bureau
All
incoming cards received via bureau, will be confirmed with a simple computer
printed unsigned QSL card via bureau
once a year.
Incoming direct cards
Special QSL cards, fullfilling
the rules for IOTA confirmations, will
be available shortly after I have returned home. The QSL card will be an
attractive full colour card. Please allow two or three
months delay for printing and handling. My QSL card will be returned
via mail if the following is fullfilled.
a/
Ensure that the QSO information on your card of claimed
contacts is clear and correct.
b/
Enclose a good quality self-addressed envelope of sufficient
size and strength for the number of return cards expected. No
loose labels please!
c/ Enclose two (2) US Dollars
to meet my costs for printing and postage by airmail. Simple postage
outside Sweden is from January 2007 eleven (11) SEK up to 20g. Today
(september 2007) is one (1) US$ < 6.50
SEK.
I don't accept IRC any longer.
In Sweden there are no longer any local post offices. Stamps are today
bought at various facilities and clerks don't redeem IRC. I have to travel
to the main post office in the next big city to have them redeemed, so
I don't accept IRC any longer.
Applications
received direct but not fullfilling the rules a-c above for direct QSL, will receive confirmation via the bureau once a year.
LoTW
If you are satisfied with an
electronic confirmation of our QSO, my computer log from 2000 is uploaded to
ARRL's "Log of the world".
eQSL
eQSL is another way of an
electronic confirmation. Since my logging program also support eQSL, my
computer log with all foreign calls from 2000 is uploaded to
eQSL. The authenticity of my call
CT3/SM7DKF,
FJ/SM7DKF, FS/SM7DKF, ZF2MW and ZK1DKF are guaranteed and approved by eQSL.
To upload new large files to
eQSL is very unpredictable, since the process almost is interrupted for
unknown reasons. I'm very doubtful if I will support with eQSL for new
DX-calls in the future.
My address for direct
QSL is:
