ARRL 4th Call Area Incoming QSL BUREAU


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 cost of the
service is a small fee for each SASE. Click on the
link above named Getting QSL Cards from the Bureau for
details. 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:
Sterling Park QSL Bureau
PO Box 29
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. If you send SASEs, be sure that they meet the
details specified on the link above named Additional
Information on 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 Jeff, KB4IWD,
the Bureau Manager, at [email protected].
