Check http://www.iarc.org/~4z5ay/htmls/bea_tec.htm AUSTRALIAN POSTAGE ---> The following comes from Alan, VK4AAR: "From 1 July 2000, a Goods and Services Tax (GST) was introduced to Australia as part of tax reform. It means we pay a little extra for many, but not all, things including postage stamps. Mail to destinations outside Australia is free from GST but NOT internal mail. Consequently, Australia Post has introduced a special series of stamps for use on international mail and we must use these stamps or risk being taxed extra. This will be enforced rigidly from 1st February 2001 but they are being lenient with us till then. What this means is that it is now unwise for DXers to send envelopes with Australian stamps on for their QSL cards to be returned in. If my reply address is on that envelope, I will be contacted and charged a tax (I don't yet know how much). If my reply address is not on the envelope, you, the DXer, will get taxed at your end, I was told today. Therefore, please send ONLY green stamps or IRCs. For my part, I prefer green stamps, they are more flexible and useful". CORRECTION ---> QSLs for SV8/IT9YRE/p go to IT9YRE, QSLs for R0L go to IK2DUW.
