[SCCC] Bureau Envelopes

[W6ph--- via SCCC]

I'm the P sorter.  I have a lot of envelopes from either SK's or  people 
who no longer hold a call sign.  I recycle those envelopes at no  charge and 
only charge for postage.  It's more work to cover old addresses  and add new 
addresses but that is part of the job.  We are getting mailings  around 
March, July, and November (plus or minus) and it takes me about eight  hours to 
sort, address, update my Excel file, and mail envelopes of QSL's.   After I 
mail the envelopes, I send my Excel file to NE6I who keeps the bureau  web 
site up to date and people can view their account status there.  NE6I  is the 
guy behind the curtain and does a great job keeping up the bureau web  site.
 
I don't know what the other sorters are doing but I suspect they do close  
to the same thing.  Most of the sorter's call signs are listed on the 
_www.qslbureau.org_ (http://www.qslbureau.org)  web site and you can  contact them 
directly if you have questions pertaining to your QSL's, account  status, 
or anything else.  I would recommend that funds for your postage be  mailed 
directly to the QSL Bureau in Fairfax, CA.
 
Just some random thoughts.

One  correction...  That's 24# kraft paper, heavier than previously  
stated.  I don't know what the 28 on the box means, but the web site and  
paperwork accompanying both say 24#.

In response to various inquiries...
The  envelopes are made from 28# kraft paper, so they're fairly heavy and 
will  protect your cards.  They have no clasp, avoiding the USPS surcharge 
for  that.  

I've just about decided I'm going to the meeting at  Arnie's on the 9th, so 
that would be a great time to get some envelopes if  you're going too.  You 
can also pick them up at the shop in Torrance,  with a free tour of the 
Burchett Museum thrown in.  Here's a taste of  that:

Otherwise, you pay the shipping expenses.

I've just stocked up on  #35 envelopes for use by the incoming bureau.  
They'd rather we buy  theirs, at 80 cents each (includes a stamp, so, 31 cents 
for the envelope),  but I've always sent in my own from the local stationery 
store.  That  store is long gone, though, and the envelopes are harder to 
find.  So  here I am with 500 envelopes, probably a lifetime supply, thinking 
I ought to  share the bounty.  If anyone's interested, I'll take 15 cents 
each for  them (less than half the Bureau price).  Add your own stamp and 
address  label and send 'em in.  Any takers?
