notes:
1. priority b is a white envelope, air mail but slower than priority a
2. priority a is a air mail envelope.
3. mike, vk4dx reports 1 gs is ample for australia to anywhere in
the world. exchange rate is now $us.56 to the australian dollar..
4. manila post office will exchange irc's. outlying post offices will not.
5. irc's are not accepted in lebanon
6. an irc in kuwait is only accepted if it is new and clearly stamped and
the country name is shown clearly, otherwise not accepted.
7. on4ant reports 1 irc is good for surface rate and 2 irc's are needed
for air mail postage which is 34 belgian francs.
8. air mail postage from japan is 110 yen. at todays exchange rate $1 us
is not quite enough.
9. a gs is sufficeint for postage with slight surplus to offset qsl printing.
a irc is sufficeint for postage only.
10. luxembourg has only one type of service, no such thing as surface or air mail.
11. irc's only. india does not allow possesion of green stamps.
12. irc's are not available in bulgaria. only source is from dxer's who send to
bulgarian hams. also attempting to purchase irc's via mail using gs's is risky.
13. $2us is good to all desitnations but 3 irc's needed for asia & oceania
14. old (small) irc's are no longer accepted in columbia. large only.
15. present rates require $4.50lu/20grm to usa & $5.20lu/20grm to rest of world.
a couple of foreign hams remind us to check the exchange rate.
sometimes $1 us is less than postage, sometimes it's more.
also, sometimes the foreign ham has to pay a fee to exchange gs's
for the local currency. this fee is frequently more than the gs!
i cannot guarantee the accuracy of the chart other than to report information
received from hams in the country they are reporting on.
