Right on Ron. Frank has worked very hard to overcome the QSL theft problem
(both incoming and outgoing). I had a personal experience where there was a
date error on a card he received from me and he emailed me to question the
error. Now that's service!

Frank said he was having many troubles with the mail.
I checked my log and see where I had to mail via Registered
International mail to get his needed card.
That was 23 Feb 2006. I received his card with all QSO's on 4 April
2006. I did include the usual IRC, GS and SAE since I doubt any
I made four direct mailings to V51AS, all complete with IRCs and green
stamps. About three years later I received QSLs via the Buro for 8 of 9
QSOs. I'm guessing he gets ripped off at the post office and thus is forced
to return QSLs via the Buro. I suppose the volume of mail (and $$$) he
QSL V51AS --- The new QSL route [425DXN 823] should be all right
effective 10 March. Send your cards to Frank Steinhauser, Schlossstr.
68A, 82140 Olching, Germany and be prepared to wait a bit: this is not a
QSL manager, so it may be up to four months before you will hear back
from Frank, but
That's what he would like us to believe. Personsally, I don't believe it.
If mail theft is such a problem for him, why hasn't he accepted one of
the many offers from potential QSL managers?
If you need a V5 confirmation, wait for a DXpedition rather than
throwing money away QSLing V51AS.
I have a 100 percent return rate from V51AS because I follow a few simple
guidelines laid out below. In any case, apparently he now has a QSL drop in
Germany.

Art,
I've never had a problem getting cards back from Frank. The BIG problem is,
he doesn't get them due to mail theft. He QSLs 100% when he gets them. There
is also a theft problem on outgoing mail.

Hello DX-chat,
Gents, what one should do to get a card from V51AS?
Looks like this guy believes 2 USD is not enough
for him, so my second direct request is
I never tried to get a card from Frank becaue I already have that one
confirmed many times.
There have been several contest operations from there, one even by some of
our local Society of Midwest Contesters gang. I'll bet there are more in
the future. I know the W9's who went there are
an envelope from my previous employer, so it looked like an official letter from an engineering company, not a personal letter from a ham. Worth a try...

Dave,
Not all of us are made of money, so you might want to reconsider your
belief that we all can afford another green stamp. You might also want
to notch down the aggression a little. Barry is entitled to his opinion.
I don't waste time or money sending QSL requests to most African
Excellent advice!DaveZack Widup [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: One of my favorite methods is to put my QSL inside the return envelope inside my envelope to overseas. My SAE's are smaller and just fit inside the larger #10 envelopes.Then I cut a piece of carbon paper just barely smaller than the
