HOW TO QSL

 

Step One:

You MUST provide reasonably accurate log data in order to confirm the QSO and get a QSL.  No exceptions.

 

Step Two:

Fill out the QSO information completely; Callsign, Date, UTC time, Band or Frequency, Mode, and Report.  If you worked WØS multiple times for band/mode credit, feel free to list them all on one card.  One QSL card or list is all that is needed. It will be easier to process and less postage for you.  Does not have to be pretty, just clear and readable.  Log Data is required for all QSL requests.

 

Step Three

DX Stations:

Please send your QSL card along with either one large style VALID IRC or $1 U.S. dollar (of course, additional contributions are welcome and encouraged to help cover the large expenses of the event).  Please include a self-addressed envelope of good quality.  Write your address on the envelope as if you were mailing the envelope from the United States.  It is not necessary to send it registered unless you have problems with outgoing mail in your country.  If you must send it registered or certified that will be OK.

  

USA Stations:

Please send your QSL card and a self-addressed stamped business size envelope ( SASE ) along with $1 or $2 dollars to help cover the large expenses of the event ( of course, additional contributions are welcome and encouraged ).  Please use good quality business sized envelopes in order to protect your QSL card.  Checks can be made out to Rod Kittleman and included with your QSL card.

 

ALL STATIONS, PLEASE SEND YOUR QSL REQUESTS TO THIS ADDRESS ONLY:

 

Rod Kittleman

604 Cascades Drive

Nixa, MO.  65714

 

PLEASE NOTE:  We are sensitive about mailing costs, so we suggest the following:  If a group of hams or a DX club wants to send a large envelope containing multiple QSL cards who have worked the WØS station and a return self-addressed envelope with sufficient postage for return, please do so.  Just be sure to include all the information as describe above as if for one QSL card.  This is good for DX station as well.

 

Step Four:

All cards will be sent from the USA.  Please ensure that your address is correct and you include enough postage for First Class return.

 

Step Five:

Now relax and wait!
