Click HERE to see some old Cyprus cards.

If you are not in Cyprus and wish to exchange cards DIRECT with a Cyprus amateur, please send with your card an SAE and return postage in accordance with the amateur's instruction on QRZ.COM. Note that some amateurs prefer not to receive IRCs.

If you are a member of CARS you may send and receive QSL Cards through the CARS Buro, operated by:

CARS QSL MANAGER   ALAN JUBB 5B4AHJ  PSATHI VILLAGE 8749 PAFOS Telephone 99 922 625

RECEIVING CARDS

Foreign Bureaux and individual hams may send cards for Cyprus Amateurs to: POB 51267 - 3503 Lemesos - Cyprus. Please note that cards for Amateurs who are not members of CARS will not be forwarded to them. Also please note that some Cyprus Amateurs do not QSL via the bureau, even if they are a member of CARS.

Please ensure that cards for QSOs with Cyprus Amateurs who have a manager outside Cyprus are clearly marked with the manager's call, and are not sent to the Cyprus bureau. A good example of this is C4SV, who's manager is SV2DGH. Neither SV2DGH nor C4SV are members of CARS, so Alan cannot forward cards to them. A list of these calls can be found HERE.

Incoming QSLs are pre-sorted by Alan 5B4AHJ, then forwarded to local managers, who will take them to their Radio Club meetings (details on Club Meetings & Other Events page).

Please collect your cards, or ask someone to do so for you.

SENDING CARDS

Sort your cards by Country (and sort the countries in order of the main prefix for each country), and send them with the payment (One Euro per 50 cards) to Alan, who will periodically forward them to individual foreign bureaux. Please write on a slip of paper the number of QSLs sent and the amount enclosed, and send the slip with your cards.


Please ensure that you check whether the station to whom you are sending a card has a manager (use QRZ.COM or IK3QAR) and, if so, write the manager's call clearly on the QSL. It is not the job of Alan to determine whether a card should be sent via a manager or not.


Please be sure that you separate cards for Kaliningrad from cards for the rest of Russia, as Kaliningrad now has a separate bureau.

You may take cards to your local Radio Club meeting or the Monthly Ham Lunch.

A complete list of bureaux can be found HERE

Would all users of the Cyprus bureau please that the following countries do not have a working bureau, so we cannot handle outgoing cards for these countries. Please check QRZ.COM, IK3QAR or one of the other web resources for the correct routing. Sometimes this will be via a manager, in which case please mark the manager's callsign clearly on your QSL card, or direct only. In the latter case, please do not send your QSL to the CARS bureau, but send it in accordance with the instructions on QRZ.COM etc.

Please do not send us QSLs for stations in any of the above countries (unless your card is clearly marked with the callsign of a manager who resides in a country with an operational bureau).
 

Do not forget to include a minimum of €2 per 100 cards! The buro needs this for postage, envelopes etc. Alan will also accept postage stamps, properly stamped IRCs or Green Stamps (3 Dollars or IRCs per 100 cards).  No cheques please. If you can include a little extra it will be appreciated. If you don't include any payment your cards will not be sent. No tickee, no laundry!
