I was reading the ARRL's lament about the DXCC program not paying for
itself
in the new QST. I have a simple answer to their fiscal dilemma. Allow us
to
send stateside cards to the incoming QSL bureaus for $.20 per card.

Hi Hans,

We gave this some study a couple of years ago, because (unlike the
situation 
until recently) a domestic QSL service is no longer a violation of the 
Private Express Statutes. The problem is that the incoming bureau is 
operated primarily for the benefit of the recipients of the cards,
whereas a 
domestic service would operate primarily for the benefit of the senders. 
Recipients would have less reason to keep envelopes on file if they were 
receiving mostly domestic cards.

We may yet find a way to process and deliver domestic cards economically,

unless electronic confirmation makes the issue moot.

73,
Dave K1ZZ
