Rejection of perfectly valid IRC's is a serious matter for DX'ers.
It is an international agreedment between all participating countries =
that IRCs never expire, they must be honoured for exchange whatever =
their age provided they were correctly endorsed at the point of sale. =
Any failure of a PO to observe this rule should be rigorously persued =
with the country's postal authorities.
Dave (and others) I recently exchanged 35 old style but valid IRC's from
numerous originating countries
for 35 brand new 47p Stamps (min 10g rate for overseas in Postal Region-1).
I was unable to secure this
rate for European IRC's but received the appropriate Eu Rated Stamp. I do
not exchange new style but
as you say re-circulate them.
Cheers John
PS Now going to work out how to update the Oblast Mult files for Russian
test this weekend. I have spent most
the week resolving why the Russian Contest Module was putting qso's
into wrong band slots. Seems it needed
a radio connecting rather than using keyboard to change bands up or
down. Ah well another to remember not to do.
