[SEDXC] Question about IRCs.

[Jim Studer]

I quit buying my IRC's from the local post offices once I found out that you
could order them on-line from the post office.  They come stamped, are
current, and it saves time and gas otherwise spent on tracking them down.
Just Google USPS and IRC and you'll see a link to ARRL's web page that has
the details.  I've encountered no problems using this approach.

Subject: [SEDXC] Question about IRCs.

 

I have a few cards to send out that need IRCs.  I went through the normal
routine of, "Oh, those have been discontinued......" or " what are those?"
or " we used to carry those but we don't anymore."  I'm in Florida and
brought the cards with me already to send minus return green stamps or IRCs.
Anyway, I picked up a few at the local Post Office that knew what they were
and actually had some.  They are the current ones and the date range is
correct.
My question is, aren't they supposed to be postmarked or date stamped?
The Post Office didn't have a clue so I took them without them being
stamped.
I kept the receipt  just in case.
It seems that the old ones had to be postmarked/stamped, but maybe the newer
ones don't.
Anyone know for sure?
 
Thanks, 73, Happy Thanksgiving, Tad, WF4W
