IRC's are not available in Bulgaria. Only source is from dxer's who send to
Bulgarian hams. Also attempting to purchase IRC's via mail using GS's is risky. |

Old IRC's are accepted at local PO discretion (suggests using New)
A couple of foreign hams remind us to check the exchange rate.
Sometimes US is less than postage, sometimes it's more. |

Everyone that sending US dollar$ to Laos is not a good idea. He says, "It is not a violation (to have $)", however the average postman in Laos makes about a month. The temptation is very high to take these envelopes. He asks that you please send IRCs to Laos.
