[SEDXC] IRCs

[Robert Carroll]

I went by the Mt. Bethel PO on Friday.  They are the most likely source of
IRCs in East Cobb.  They had only the old URCs which expire are the end of
the year and are worthless.  They weren't aware there was a newer issue.  If
you find a PO with IRCs, look at the expiration date before buying.

Ian,
There are at least two PO's in Atlanta that know what an IRC is.  The 
Crown Road (main post office) near the airport and the North Metro 
divisional PO (Boggs Rd. off 316 in Duluth.  (Aaron Graves is the 
supervisor of retail at Boggs and the person with whom I have been 
dealing ) -- you may want to call before you make a trip to either 
location to make sure they have them in stock.  The item number of new 
IRC that they should look for is 330800.

In addition as a service to members the Club usually keeps a small stock 
of the IRC's on hand. I sell them at meetings at same price as the PO.   
I bought 100 in October and only have 1 left.  However, I have a deal 
working with a very active off shore DXer to buy his surplus at slightly 
below the price the PO charges. If that works out, I will sell them at 
$2.00 which is a dime cheaper than the PO.    I expect to receive a 
package from him any day now.

When I get them, I'll post to the reflector and let you know.  I'm sure 
we can get them to you if you don't have luck with the PO.
