Welcome to the W1 Incoming QSL Bureau, sponsored by the Yankee Clipper Contest Club and staffed by over fifty dedicated New England radio amateurs who volunteer their time to distribute DX QSL cards to you. General information, which applies to all the ARRL-supported U.S. Incoming QSL Bureaus, is available from the ARRL Web pages. Although the Incoming Bureau system operates under the guidance of ARRL, you are not required to be an ARRL member to use it.
The W1 QSL bureau receives DX QSLs from outgoing foreign QSL bureaus. We sort the cards and mail them to hams having a first area callsign. We try to send out cards about six times per year depending upon the availability of cards from the DX bureaus. The W1 QSL Bureau does not accept stamps or envelopes We require that you send money credits rather than SASEs since they are easier to keep track of, postage rate changes are much less of a hassle, and we can use exactly the postage which is needed for your shipment. It is also less expensive for you as no funds are wasted on unnecessary postage. Checks should be made out to W1 QSL BUREAU... Cash may be sent at your own risk The mailing address is above. Payments may be made by PAYPAL using the form below. Note that PAYPAL charges a fee.
The funds are credited to your account, which is then charged 10 cents per envelope used and face value for postage used. The small amount made from the sale of envelopes is used to pay for other bureau expenses like the PO Box which costs $ 834 per year. We require a special PO Box as we get as much as 60 pounds of mail per week.
The individual sorters are literally spread throughout New England. When you send credits, it may be a number weeks before your individual letter sorter receives the credits. We pick up mail from the Post Office box weekly and distribute sorted cards and credits, in bulk, to the individual sorters every 6-8 weeks in order to minimize the cost. If your credits arrive just after a shipment to the sorters, then the sorter will not receive the funds until the next shipment. When this occurs, the account status with cards that you receive will not reflect your latest submission. It will appear on the next shipment...
If you have any questions please contact us by email to w1qsl@yccc.org or the mail address above. New membership, address changes, call changes, and PAYPAL payments can be made with the form below.

We hope this information has been helpful!
73 and Good DX, The Staff of the W1 QSL Bureau
