SKCC QSL Bureau

SKCC FREE QSL Bureau for all stations, members and non-members, for confirmation of contacts. You do not have to be a member of SKCC to send in card to hams that are “Good in the SKCC Buro.”

Please QSL. Even though cards are not required for SKCC awards; members who may be working for other awards need your confirmation. Do not wait to receive cards before you send. When you have enough outgoing QSL’s to fill an envelope, send them in along with some Self Addressed Stamped Envelopes (SASE’s).

If you would like to use the bureau, send SASE's, with at least one units of postage each, to the bureau. You may want to send in more than one SASE to start.

It is highly suggested to use only #10 business sized envelopes (4-1/8" x 9-1/2") when sending SASE's to the bureau. This helps with organization, and 99.9% of all cards fit in them without the need for folding.

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

When there are enough cards coming to you to fill an envelope, the bureau will send them out. This may be 6 to 10 cards depending on weight.

Notes for good QSL Cards:

• 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.
• If the frequency is in MHz, be sure to put the decimal in the right place.
• 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.
• Most hams use UTC time format. Please take note of the proper date for contacts after 0000 UTC.

DX

The process for handling DX cards to be determined. May ask for payment instead of sending in envelops with postage. We will let you know when this is set up.
