Letter to RSGB

As some of you are aware if you are RSGB members, there have been problems getting QSL cards to RSGB members through the RSGB Bureau. So please be assured if you are an RSGB member and had difficulties receiving my QSL cards I am doing everything I can to resolve the mattter.
 
At the request of the RSGB General manager I have removed the copy of the letter I sent to the RSGB. The GM says that the RSGB do not have a ban on QSL cards to RSGB members.
 
I can only apologise to the RSGB members that have had cards defaced. These cards will be replaced and will be sent to you direct at my expence.

MW0JZE 7 Band Hexbeam Announced

7band-hexbeam

Great news today for the users of the Hexbeam as Anthony MW0JZE has announced his new version of the antenna and it includes 40M !

Anthony says: ”Over the past 9 months I have been planning, designing and developing the new Hexbeam concept. I have done much research on the 40m full size Hexbeam but came to the conclusion it was just too big to erect in an average size garden. The wind load would be so high that any strong gales could cause destruction to the fiberglass arms limiting its life span. The compromise I came to was to design a non-trapped Di-pole antenna with as little loss as possible while maintaining a modest turning radius.”

What does United Radio QSL Bureau do?

Edit

QSL-9U4U

A desire to provide DX’peditions a “One Stop Shop” QSL Management, QSL Design and high quality professional printing. All in one!

United Radio QSL Bureau

United Radio QSL Bureau was started in 2007 by Max ON5UR and Tim M0URX to provide a one stop shop for all QSLing services. Here are a few of the services that we provide.
 
ON5UR as part of this, sourced and designed a “DXpedition & Contest QSL” in runs of 5,000 & 10,000 cards where the design, card and print quality are better than what is on the market and cheaper too!
I send out 10,000 samples every year with all my direct QSL cards.
 
M0URX & M0OXO offer a full free QSL manager service to all DXpedition, IOTA and rare DXCC stations, Contest Stations are charged only for the first print run of cards, the same for NON DX stations.
 
M0URX also offers an online posting service for all UK QSL Managers. This service gives up to 70% discount on stamp prices and is essential that DXpediitons make the most of this service. For example on larger mailings of 1.5 kg to a country, 15g letters to the USA could be sent for as little as 32p using Priority Air Mail.
(Contract mailings like this are sorted BEFORE stamped items hence “Priority”)
 
M0URX & M0OXO Together provide an Outgoing QSL Bureau going to all IARU Bureau every 4 months. February, June and October.
 
M0URX & M0OXO both have a tailored OQRS system to speed up both Direct and Bureau postings.


A passion for DX and a desire to promote professional QSL Management, Design and Printing for all radio amateurs. Of course we are also dedicated to the phenomenon called DX!

To give support to DXpeditions, to give postal advice and assistance to UK based QSL managers.

We welcome International DX Teams to use our postal facilities. We offer discounts on postage costs and can send all your outging international and national mailings, saving YOU time and money. Substantial savings on larger malings especially to USA & Japan.
