CDXAmembers at groups.io
CDXA has moved from the 'Mailman' email reflector to 'groups.io' email reflector for our email service.
If you are a CDXA member and have not yet signed up for the CDXA groups.io reflecter, you can signup here.
Reason for the change is because the 'mailman' reflector does not have the ability to send images, attachments and sometimes links. The 'Groups.io' email reflector gives us the ability to add images, attachments, links, etc. to emails going out to all members. It also gives us some new tools like polls, etc
Previous an email was sent to all CDXA members inviting you to join the CDXAMembers@Groups.io. All CDXA members joining the CDXAMembers@groups.io must be approved before you can use it. The approval process is an unfortunate necessity given people who would abuse the service.

QSL Service Fee Structure
ARRL members — including foreign members, QSL Managers, or managers for DXpeditions — should enclose payment as follows:
$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.
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.
