Hell, that's a good queston, Zack. I'd assume that they go via Madagascar or perhaps Kenya or South Africa. La Poste France deliver direct to French possessions without the use of third parties as far as I know. Next time I speak to FR5DX (actually I've not heard him for ages - is he still active or back in France??) I'll ask him. FR1AN seems pretty active but he doesn't seem to appear on the bands much for Euope openings (I can't blame him avoiding the Italian Muppet Show we have to contend with every time DX appears) and uses a US QSL manager. Maybe you can ask him. It'll annoy me now I don't know the answer :-) cheers Dave

However, it begs the question: Where do the letters go (by what route) if they DON'T say "Via France" on them? What route do they take when they DO say that? 73, Zack W9SZ On Sat, 15 Nov 2008, DAVE WHITE wrote: > Hi Barry, > > Strangely I've had no problems with FR5DX either....once I learned to write REUNION ISLAND, FRANCE, or VIA FRANCE on the envelope.
