Go to https://www.cdxa.org/w4qsl-bureau/index.php Enter your call sign in the blank box next to "Submit Query" and press ENTER. If your sorter has put your data on line (about half of the sorters have) you will immediately find out the status of your QSL file. If you sorter has NOT put your data on line or if you want additional information, your sorter's email address is there. You can click on the link and send an inquiry to your sorter. The number one frustration that I hear from our sorters is when they receive incoming QSL cards and there are no envelopes, funds or instructions from you about how you want your cards handled. So once again, help our volunteers by making your wishes known. We have tried to make it easy for you to tell us what to do with your cards. Go to the link above. Scroll down the page and you will find ways to get envelopes on file with the bureau. I thank you in advance for your halp and your sorters will be pleased as well Paul Sturpe, W3GQ QSL Bureau Mgr. 4th Call Area W4 K4 N4 Prefixes

Effective May 15, 2019, the new rate structure will be: $2 for 10 or fewer cards in one envelope. $3 for 11-20 cards in one envelope, or 75 cents per ounce, for packages with 21 or more cards. [For example, a package containing 1.5 pounds of cards -- 24 ounces, or about 225 cards -- will cost $18.] Under the new fee structure, there are no transaction service fees. Any cards received before May 15 will be charged the current rate. There will be no adjustments for cards received before May 15. You should use an accurate scale to weigh your cards. Most post offices have scales that you may use. Please pay by check (or money order) and write your call sign on the check. Send cash at your own risk. DO NOT send postage stamps or IRCs. Please make checks payable to: “The ARRL Outgoing QSL Service.” Packages received with insufficient payment will not be processed until the balance is paid in full. The outgoing QSL bureau does not keep money on account.

The Officers of the CDXF will be elected on a yearly basis, in December, by all those who have donated to the CDXF in the preceding twelve months. Initially the Officers are: President, Hal Bouton, N4QT; Vice President, Bill Fisher, W4GRW; and Secretary-Treasurer, Cliff Wagoner, W3ZL. The Officers will make all final decisions regarding distribution of DXpedition donations.
