[DX-NEWS] Tokelau

2005-07-31 Thread Robert G. Schaffrath
I saw this article on Tokelau posted over on rec.collecting.coins. Granted it is already a seperate DXCC entity but I wonder if this will wind up causing a delete/add situation if it is no longer part of New Zealand. I also wonder what will happen to the ZK3 prefix (maybe E6 will be allocated

If I had to guess I would say E6.  E4 went to Palestine and E5 to the Cook Island.  The only one recently the I recall that was not in that sequence was East Timor and that was because they assumed the 4W block that the UN had. Robert de N2JTX Joe Subich, W4TV wrote: Does anyone know what

Re: [DX-NEWS] VE Postal rates in 2007

2006-08-08 Thread Robert G. Schaffrath
It is amazing to me how fast the VE prices are rising. Only nine years ago, back in 1997, Canadian postage to the United States was CDN$.52. Now it is about to hit CDN$.93 at the ten year mark, just shy of a 79% increase! In the meantime, as noted in the earlier post, the Canadian Dollar has ap

Good question. I worked HR6SI back on 2001-03-18 myself. I sent a card, GS and SAE on 2001-06-07 and received a reply on 2001-08-13. However, the card I received at that time was for HR2HM/HR6 which I subsequently learned was not valid for IOTA. A few weeks later, another envelope arrived with
