[CQ-Contest] QSLing

I don't understand why postage rates around the world are going crazy.

I got this in an email earlier this week:

[snip]
As of Jan 1st 2017 postage in Sweden will raise with 50%
[end snip]

Either the author was mistaken, or something is NUTS in SM land.

I don't know if anyone noticed, but in the US, the cost of postage actually went down 1 cent.

As for the ARRL, I don't know one person who like the price increase.  But then again, who ever
likes a price increase for anything?  

Ever check out the toll to get into Manhattan?  OUCH!  Last year:  For most commuters – those 
who drive vehicles with two axles and single rear wheels – cash tolls increased from $14 to $15.  

I use EZPass (discount), and get to work before 6am (discount), which helps, but no cigar.

As with all things in life, seek an alternative, if a satisfactory one exists.  Minimally, voice
your opinion (in this case) to the ARRL.

HNY to all!
