At least you were dealing with the purchase of a US IRC, which are great if you want to make sure you get a return QSL. I was dealing with trying to redeem a Finnish IRC that was written in Finnish and had every language on the back except English.
FYI, when sending a QSL card to a foreign country don't put any call signs on the envelope. It is known that some unscrupulous postal clerks in some countries troll for these types of mail because they know they may contain some type of enumeration for return postage and pocket the $$.

[QUOTE="EDUK8TR, post: 164308, member: 13"] At least you were dealing with the purchase of a US IRC, which are great if you want to make sure you get a return QSL.
