POSTAGE (HK) ---> Oscar, HK6DOS reports an airmail postage increase from
Colombia to the USA, Canada, Central and South America (+60%) and to Europe,
Asia, Africa and Oceania (+65%). "One dollar is not enough to answer one QSL
card", he says, "therefore, it is better to send IRC or two dollars." Oscar
is the QSL maanger for CO6XN.
RUSSIAN POBs ---> Victor, UA2FM reports that according to the new Russian
Post Rules (effective 1 January 2001) "The mail will be returned [...] If the
NAME of adressee who is the subscriber of the P.O. Box, is not shown or if
shown wrong" (Item "d", Paragraph 123). "As for RW2F, RK2FWA or UA2FM", he
says, "put neither call, nor 'UA2 Contest Club', nor 'Petrovo Radio Club' but
Victor Loginov, P.O.Box 73, Kaliningrad, 236000, Russia. In case you send us
QSL direct, please keep in mind that our postmen love 'green stamps', they
have little knowledge about what IRCs are, but can destroy your letter with
IRC as well. So we earnestly recommend you to send RK2FWA and RW2F cards via
DK4VW instead."
QSL 4N1DX ---> Please note that K1WY is no longer the QSL manager for 4N1DX.

QSL VK6BSI ---> Cards should be sent direct only to VK4AAR (Alan Roocroft,
P.O. Box 421, Gatton 4343, Australia). Please note that "it is NOT a good
idea to send envelopes with Australian stamps", Alan says,"as there is now a
special type of stamp for use on international mail. The postal authorities
assure me that using the wrong stamps will incur a penalty".
QSL XF4MX ---> Fernando, XE1AE reports that COFETEL (Comision Federal de
Telecomunicaciones) has asked the Radio Club Mexicano A.C. to answer QSL
