SKCC QSL Bureau

The SKCC hosts a QSL Bureau for use by interested SKCC club members, both US and DX. You can save a lot in postage costs by sending multiple cards in one envelope via the bureau. There is no need to bother with addressing the individual cards. Also, bureau members will automatically receive a K3Y special event QSL card if they have worked any K3Y stations in January.

Anyone, even non-members, can send cards via the bureau to participating stations, but only members of the bureau can receive cards.

IMPORTANT: Not all SKCC members are members of the bureau. Please refer to the "good in the bureau" list below before sending cards. Cards sent to stations who are not "good in the bureau" will not be delivered. For members that are not part of the bureau please send direct to member with SASE.

If you are an U.S. SKCC member, you can join the QSL Bureau by providing postage in the form of self-addressed stamped envelopes (SASE). If you are a non-US member, you may join by buying postage credits from the bureau via PayPal. See below for details.

Using the bureau

Only send #10 business-sized envelopes (4-1/8" x 9-1/2") when sending SASEs to the bureau. This helps with organization; 99.9 percent of all cards fit into them without the need for folding.

For easier sorting, we require the following format for addressing your return envelopes:

When enough cards arrive to fill an envelope, the bureau will send them out. This may be 6 to 10 cards depending on weight(1 Ounce). Please do not add extra postage beyond one forever stamp.

Note: The QSL Buro Manager recommends that you maintain no more than 4 Envelope credits at any one time.

Notes for good QSL cards:

1. QSL cards with cross-outs, write-overs, erasures, etc., cannot be accepted for awards. If you make a mistake, throw the card away and write a new one.

2. If the frequency is in MHz, be sure to put the decimal in the right place.

3. If the station you worked was mobile or portable, log both reports and indicate on the card where the station was mobile at the time of the contact.

4. Most hams use UTC time format. Please take note of the proper date for contacts after 0000 UTC.

5. All call signs must have separate envelopes. Only one call sign per envelope. All others must have envelopes in the Bureau and be registered as a member. (club calls, QSL managed calls, non-member calls) to receive QSLs.

6. PLEASE report address changes and Call Sign changes to the bureau so we can make those changes.

Members DX Stations Outside the USA

SKCC members ONLY residing outside the USA may purchase QSL Buro postage credits through the SKCC PayPal account.

A USD $3 purchase will convert to TWO - USPS Global mail stamps. You may send your payment via PayPal.com to PayPal@SKCCgroup.com - PLEASE include your Callsign and comment that the funds are for the QSL Buro so that we can tell a donation from a QSL Buro Envelope Credit purchase.
