Having just completed the answering of 1300+ E51 cards that have been
received, I offer the following DOs and DONTs of QSLing:
DO use envelopes with peel and stick flaps. They speed up sealing of
envelopes.
DO put your call sign in bold, large print on the same side as the QSO
information.
DO enclose enough postage or an IRC to cover the cost of return postage. IF
this isn't possible, send the card anyway with a self addressed envelope.
DO not enclose small address labels instead of envelopes.
DO avoid extraneous enclosures. Personal notes, canceled stamps, etc. should
be avoided unless critical. Sometimes they are nice, but they slow down the
process.
DO NOT use envelopes without glue. They have to be taped shut, and that is a
real pain!
DO NOT seal envelopes so tightly that they can't be quickly opened with a
letter opener.
DO NOT mix cards to or from different call signs. They really slow down the
processing of cards.
DO NOT fold or "hide" IRCs or Green Stamps so intricately that they are hard
to unfold when opening.
