Risoluzione IARU 85-9 ( concerne il servizio bureau )
RESOLUTION 85-9
(Revised 2009)
concerning QSL bureaus
The IARU Administrative Council, Auckland, November 1985,
recognizing that the exchanging of QSL cards is a "final courtesy" in an Amateur Radio
communication,
recognizing that the cost of exchanging cards between individual amateur stations is prohibitive
in most cases, unless an efficient international bureau system in operation,
recognizing that an amateur who sends a card via the bureau usually has no way of knowing
whether the amateur to whom it is addressed is a member of his national IARU society, and
recognizing that most IARU member-societies operate incoming bureau systems that are
available to members and non-members alike, but that some are unable, for good and sufficient
reason, to provide service to non-members even it the expenses of doing so are fully
reimbursed,
resolves that member-societies are strongly encouraged, whenever possible, to provide
incoming QSL bureaus service to non-members within their operating territory, if such
non-members agree to pay the full cost of this service; and if they are not already doing so, to
explore appropriate means and methods for delivering QSL cards to non-members, and
further resolves that member-societies shall not forward QSL Cards to bureaus operated by
non-members of IARU, if there is an IARU member-society in the country concerned that
forwards cards to non-members who agree to pay the full cost of this service.
