The UK QSL managers continue to deal with large volumes of outgoing QSL cards both direct letters and bureau parcels to all the IARU Bureaus. This is a summary of the postage for the year 01/04/2016 to 31/03/2017.

Direct items are slightly down by -1.3% on last year. An increased postal cost of +4.45% on last year which is mainly due to our increased Bureau work over the last year along with an adjustment of exchange rate against the US dollar.

The Qsl design for 9N7EI has now been completed and cards are currently being printed by UX5UO.

We have a really nice 4 sided (Folding) Card which will be sent to all who have made a donation
or requested a Direct Card via OQRS or Post Mail. A 2 sided card has also been produced which
will be sent to all those requesting a Bureau Card.

Thanks to Gennady UX5UO for the printing of the card, showing several aspects of our trip to
Nepal.

The EIDX Group hope you will like the card once received, thank you.

Logsearch is now on Clublog and our OQRS pages are now open. 

The 12 man, all Echo India team brought a wealth of experience and variety to the group. Several are well known and active contesters while others are world recognised DXpeditioners.

Each one of them love pile-ups, and tried their best to get as many into the log as possible finishing with just over 30,000 qso’s.
