IOTA

摘要

QSLing - the success or failure in getting cards, the delay in receiving them and the cost of sending direct - is a conversation topic at any gathering of Islands on the Air enthusiasts. Since IOTA awards require the submission of QSLs, IOTA management is keen to see arrangements in place for those who want cards to get them. Many stations have an exemplary record in handling cards, others less so. When particularly keen on receiving a card, many operators prefer to send direct, enclosing a self-addressed envelope and return postage as an alternative to using the QSL bureau system. But the cost has increased significantly.
