AUSTRALIAN POSTAL RATES ---> "All DXers should be aware that Australian
postal rates increased by 10% starting 6th September 2004", Alan Roocroft,
VK4AAR reports. "Please make allowances for this when enclosing reply
postage. Also, it is not a good idea to attach Australian stamps to your SAE
because 95% of DXers get the wrong series of stamps and the wrong value.
Please let us do it ourselves. We know the system best and it is different to
most countries".
