Re: [amsat-bb] UA0LMC eadress? XE2AT

HF dxer's have the same problem...the best solution is a QSL manager in a
country with more reliable postage...

Maybe someone stateside could offer to serve as QSL manager for some of the
more active Satellite operators in countries where postal conditions are
dificult.  That would at least make confirming the country reasonably
possible.  The job might not be too overwhelming, since the activity on the
DX satellites is light compared to HF.  (100's but probably not 1000's of
QSO's).

I've received lots of HF QSL cards from Russia via the buro, but you do have
to be patient.  If you send a card via the buro today, you can hope for a
return in 2-3 years! (but only if the operator there uses the buro).

cannot even afford the slow buros used in Mexico :-))  I have even had
friends mail cards for me from Moscow (uisng Russian stamps) when on a
business trip and it does not make it to the ham!  If your mail looks at all
interesting ($), it will never get to the intended recipient.  Send the card
in a very plain envelope with hand writing, with no call signs.  Use dull,
unintersting stamps also.  Do not fold envelopes inside as the bulk is
another giveaway.  Make sure the green stamp or the IRC is not visible.
Sometimes it works and I get a return card in a few weeks.  Other times...
nothing.  I have not found the ARRL buro to be any better--still wishing to
get a card some day from UA4HTJ and RX3DTY.
