Callsign Listings Envelope sizes Address for Envelopes Postage Guide
This site is run by Dave Helliwell, the QSL sub manager for the QSL Bureau for the G8AA G8ZZ and G8AAA G8ZZZ callsign series.
The RSGB HQ has decided that it will start charging for receiving the cards from the QSL sub managers for NON RSGB members from the 1st April 2012. If you are a non RSGB member and you have not signed up for the service by September 2012 your outstanding cards and envelopes will be returned to you, and any cards subsequently received will be either returned to sender or destroyed.
The costs for the service for non RSGB
members will be:
One
year -
£11.99.
Two years - £19.99, a discount of
£3.99.
Three Years - £27.99, a discount of £7.98.
As an
alternative you can make a direct debit mandate for £7.99 a year.
NOTE:
This service will ONLY apply to incoming cards from the Bureau for NON RSGB Members. Non RSGB members will still NOT be able to send their cards via the Bureau. A
form for applying for the service is available here.
Full details of the changes are available on the RSGB web site by clicking here.
For RSGB Members there will be no change for the service of the QSL Bureau; however there is an important message for those who hold several call signs or are a holder of a club callsign. If you hold more than one call sign; you are a QSL manager for a Club or Society or the license holder for a Club, Society, or Raynet Group, you do need make sure that you register all your call signs with the RSGB. This can be done by telephoning the RSGB HQ on 01234 832700 during office hours or using the web by clicking here. You will need to have your RSGB membership number to update your details.
It is also proposed that there will be a quarterly delivery of cards irrespective if the weight for the envelopes has been reached. If you wish me to wait until the weight or the wait for limits has been reached please let me know.
The full details of the changes will be posted to you with your spring delivery. I will be pleased to pass on any comments you have with the changes to the appropriate people, and will do my best to answer any concerns that you may have with the new process.
Feel free to contact me at dave@g6fsp.com if you want me to do anything with your cards sooner than the normal dispatch or you have any other comments about this website.
Currently I am holding:
- Cards or envelopes for 1308 fellow amateurs.
- I have 8297 cards waiting for dispatch.

Incoming cards - To send me stamped addressed envelopes so I can
dispatch your cards. I do not need proof of membership or if you have
paid for the service I am sent lists every quarter for those who are eligible
to receive their cards via the QSL Bureau. My address is:
Dave Helliwell

Generally an envelope of the C5 size (9 by 6⅜ or 228mm by 161mm) is the best size this will be classed as a letter as far as the Post Office is concerned, but is subject to a weight restriction of 100g and a width restriction of 5mm, which is the equivalent of 12- 14 Cards. The more active you may want to look at the larger letter classification, where I can get in approximately 22-25 cards.
I get a number of questions about how much a bulk delivery will cost, a rule of thumb is that the average QSL card weighs approximately 3 grams, but you need to be careful over weight as the size (width) is also a factor. e.g. 22 cards will be 66 grams but will be too big for a letter - it will need to go as large letter.
Alternatively you can contact me direct to make other arrangements.
For more information on costs please see the Post Office website.
