QSLing "via G3TXF"?

Please use ClubLog's OQRS for requesting either Bureau or Direct QSLs for DX-peditions.

1. Please do not send QSLs to G3TXF via the Bureau - use OQRS to request your "one-way" Bureau QSL. Bureau QSLs are so much faster "one-way" with OQRS.

2. Please do not mail Direct QSLs to G3TXF - use OQRS. OQRS is faster, cheaper and simpler for Direct QSLs!

G3TXF always answers all QSL requests, but please use only ClubLog's OQRS for requesting either Bureau QSLs or Direct QSLs ............. Thank you!
