What do you need to do?

1. Collect only DX QSLs. The SARA QSL manager sends the QSLs to ARRL. To see
   the full details on the ARRL QSL service visit http://www.arrl.org/qsl-service
   The ARRL QSL Service cannot be used to exchange QSL cards within the 48 contiguous states.
2. Presort your DX QSL’s alphabetically by parent call sign prefix (AP,
   CE, DL, ES, EZ, F, G, JA, LY, PY, UN, YL, 5N, 9Y  and so on). Canadian
   and Australian cards should be sorted by numerical callsign (VE1, VE2, VE3 & VK1,
   VK2, VK3 etc). NOTE: Some countries have a parent prefix and use additional
   prefixes, i.e. G (parent prefix) = M, 2E, 2I, 2M, 2W,….  When sorting
   countries that have multiple prefixes, keep that country’s prefixes grouped
   with the parent prefix in your alphabetical stack.  Addresses are not
   required.  DO NOT separate the country prefixes by use of paper clips,
   rubber bands, slips of paper or envelopes.
3. Enclose proof of current ARRL Membership.  This can be in the form
   of a photocopy of the white address label from your current copy of QST.  You
   can also write on a slip of paper the information from the label, and use
   that as proof of Membership.  A copy of your current ARRL Membership
   card is also acceptable.
4. Give cards and proof of ARRL membership to SARA QSL manager (WB0MOA, Gary)
   at the monthly members meeting. The SARA QSL manager sends the cards to ARRL.

What does ARRL QSL Service do?

Your cards are sorted by the Outgoing QSL Service staff, and are usually shipped within 3 weeks. The Service handles approximately one million cards each year! QSL cards are shipped to QSL Bureaus throughout the world, which are typically maintained by the national Amateur Radio Society of each country.  While no cards are sent to individuals or individual QSL managers, keep in mind that what you might lose in speed is more than made up in the convenience and savings of not having to address and mail each QSL card separately. Your cards are sorted by the Outgoing QSL Service staff, and are usually shipped within 3 weeks.
