ANNOUNCING

ONLINE QSL REQUEST SERVICE

(HKØNA OQRS)

We are offering an Online QSL Request System (OQRS)!  

Using OQRS helps support the HKØNA team!

Please consider using our Online QSL Request Service (OQRS).

Using Direct OQRS helps support the HK0NA team.

Direct OQRS QSL requests will be processed more quickly than those sent to our QSL manager via regular mail.

You will be able to request your QSLs one of four ways:

 

OQRS DIRECT using PayPal

OQRS BUREAU no charge

DIRECT MAIL WITH SASE/$$$/IRC(S) (see instructions below)

VIA NORMAL INCOMING BUREAU (You send card via the bureau)

But please, use only ONE of the ways! It will save the QSL team a LOT of unnecessary work.

USE ONLY ONE WAY TO REQUEST YOUR QSL CARD!
SELECT ONE METHOD FROM:

A.  ONLINE QSL REQUEST SERVICE (OQRS) DIRECT
B. ONLINE QSL REQUEST SERVICE (OQRS) BUREAU
C. VIA NORMAL DIRECT MAIL WITH SASE OR SAE/irc/$$$.
D. (YOU SEND CARD VIA N2OO c/o W2 QSL BUREAU)

 

If you encounter any problems, contact N2OO at n2oo@comcast.net

 Did you donate in advance direct to the DXpedition team?
If you donated in advance direct to the DXpedition, you may request your QSL via regular means (OQRS, direct, bureau) or you may request your QSL via our donor liaison. Your QSL will be processed with the direct OQRS requests. Please send your LOG DATA and your MAILING ADDRESS to Bob Pantazes, W2ARP w2arp@arrl.net.  Your call must appear on the individual contributor page of the HK0NA.COM webpage. Thank you for supporting HK0NA!
