The ARRL 4th Call Area
Incoming QSL Bureau is a forwarding service house for QSL
cards arriving from foreign countries to amateur radio
operators in the United States. We handle 4th Call
Area call signs (with a few exceptions *), regardless of
where the operator actually lives. General information
on how the ARRL Incoming Bureaus operate may be found at www.arrl.org/incoming-qsl-service.
This Incoming Bureau is sponsored by the Sterling Park Amateur Radio Club (SPARC) as a service to amateur radio operators. It is staffed by volunteers, from throughout the 4th call area. The service is free. ARRL membership is not required.
This Bureau maintains a PO Box to receive QSL cards from foreign countries and for receiving mail from amateur radio operators serviced by this Bureau. The address is:
ARRL 4th Call Area Incoming QSL Bureau
PO Box 599
Sterling, VA 20167-0599
If you want QSL cards, then you must let your QSL Card Letter Manager know either by email or by sending SASEs. Alternatively if you do not want the cards, please let the QSL Letter Manager know. If there are several QSL cards waiting for you the letter manager will try to contact you via email or post card. The letter managers often check QRZ.COM to find your email address or your preferences for QSL cards. Consider keeping this information up to date.
Questions may be directed to Gordon, NQ4K, the Bureau Manager, at [email protected].
