 Not
all DX operators can use an IRC for the return postage for your QSL Card. In some countries
the only post offices where the IRC can be exchanged are in the big
cities hours away. Also, in some countries possession of US currency is
a crime. The DX operator doesn't have a QSL Card Manager. So what do you
do? Do you send a few green stamps (US dollars) and take the chance that
your new friend might get arrested? Or do you send a IRC which means the
only way to redeem the IRC is to take a road trip into the nearest post
office. A few Hams have taken it upon themselves to compile a list of countries and what their preferred unit of exchange should be. One of those lists is -HERE-.
If you are a QSL Manager or DX
operator, I would really like to hear from you of what
your preferred method of postage exchange is.
