QSL 9M0C ---> QSL manager G3SWH reports  that he has received 5,735 items  of
mail, and is dealing with them strictly in their order of arrival. So far, he
has opened 4,115 of them and 9,037 QSOs have been confirmed. Please note that
many replies to Australia,  New Zealand and  the Far East  have been sent  by
surface mail due to insufficient  return postage (while  an IRC covers  basic
rate postage to all destinations, from  the UK this is only  for items up  to
10g. The double-side card, along with inserts which he is obliged to  include
on behalf of various sponsors, takes  the weight over this, especially  where
the return envelope is heavy of  itself). Please do not send second  requests
at this stage. <TNX G3XTT>

QSL VK8AN & VK8AN/P (OC-154) --->  Please note [as  published in 425DXN  368]
