QSL Management Services
The United Radio QSL Team
My name is Tim Beaumont M3SDE.
I am pleased to introduce a service to help cut costs in QSL posting especially
for DXpedition Teams, Holiday Stations, IOTA Stations or just the every
day Radio Ham.
What can I provide?
1) I can look after all your QSL requirements from personal call sign
to major expedition status.
2) Free use of PO Box.
3) I handle both RSGB Bureau or Direct QSLing.
4) I work directly with ON5UR QSL Printing to ensure that only the highest
quality QSL cards are designed and printed.
5) For some DX'peditions I can offer free QSL cards if you use my QSL
services. Contact me for more information
What makes this QSL Management service different from any other?
Firstly I can offer FREE high quality QSL printing for ALL MAJOR DXpedition
Teams and also FREE high quality QSL printing to SOME holiday and IOTA
stations that receive 300 or more Direct QSL cards using my service where
$ or IRC contributions have been enclosed.
How can I afford to make such a claim of sponsorship?
With spiralling international postage costs in recent years, I have
used an International Mailing contract with Royal Mail for many years.
This contract enables me to send International post at between 30% - 50%
cheaper than sending in the normal postal system. It is this saving that
means that any profit made from the mailings are put straight back to
the service by providing YOU with FREE high quality QSL card printing.
If you want some samples of the high quality QSL cards (which for some
DX’peditions and holiday stations are 4 sided full colour all sides)
then please drop me an email with your postal address.
What QSL printer do we use?
I work closely with Max Van Rymenant ON5UR in Belgium. Max is our QSL
card designer and printer. Thanks to Max any DX Team that uses the service
provided by United Radio QSL Team will receive the highest quality printing
at the best costs. This reduces the QSL printing cost further!
How do you know that the QSL card is a design you want?
The QSL card is yours from the start, you provide the images for the
QSL card such as DX’pedition or radio shack images and we will do
the rest. Emailing you proofs at every stage.
Data transfer:
I use Broadband ADSL internet, so all ADIF files and QSL card images
can be transferred easily and quickly by my usual email address.
QSL cards and what to put on them?
For me, a QSL card is more than just a confirmation of a 2 way radio communication.
It can tell someone a lot about you and your station and your interests
in the hobby.
There is nothing more annoying than when you have just worked that major
DX’pedition from that rare prefix you only dreamed of, and then
the QSL card arrives on the door mat “Oh dear another cheap card
that lacked imagination”
So what do you put on your QSL card? Think about the design you want,
it will be only as good as your imagination allows. How about a photo
of you in the radio shack, or at the helm of the newly furbished club
station or a photo of you in pursuit of another hobby? Or a photo of that
tower and the SteppIR at the top of your garden!
Remember that your QSL card may be used by others to claim awards so
you should always remember to put on all relevant information. For IOTA
claimants the IOTA number and the Island name MUST be printed on the QSL
card. NOT hand written.
I may live in land locked Central England but we are IOTA Reference EU-005
Great Britain Mainland and this MUST be on my QSL card to be valid for
an award claim. Your IARU Locator number, WAB square, Longitude and Latitude,
CQ Zone, ITU Zone, Station Equipment are all as useful and as important
as the QSO report panel box, your callsign and name on the QSL card.
This QSL Management Service is here working for you! The offer of FREE
high quality QSL printing for your DX Team is alone valuable sponsorship!
For small holiday stations I will offer a % of high quality printing
costs depending on amount of QSL cards received.
Kind Regards,
