[SEDXC] IRC issue Continues...

[n4xp@juno.com]

Call the Atlanta Post Office Consumer Affairs Office at 404-765-7702 and
ask about the IRC issue.  They may be able to help.

The Athens PO now stocks them once I was able to get to the Post Master
directly.  If you deal with a window clerk, your wasting your time.

And yes I will have some available once the K7C cards start to appear.
