The United States Postal Service has announced that effective May 11th
the price of a first class one ounce envelope will increase from 42
cents to 44 cents.  Post cards will go to 28 cents.  Airmail to all
countries (except Canada and Mexico) will be raised to 98 cents.  Mail
to VE will be 75 cents, while to XE it will be 79 cents.  No word in
the official announcement (www.usps.com/prices/pricechanges.htm) as to
if there will be an increase to International Reply Coupons (IRCs),
although they too will probably be going up.  Those who work the
upcoming K5D DXpedition on Desecheo should seriously consider
including the make up postage.  It might even be a good idea to not
attach the extra postage, just incase N2OO is able to get the cards
and get them out before the new prices take affect.
