UK QSL Bureau Volunteers Wanted

The RSGB QSL Bureau is seeking to appoint a new volunteer for the MW and 2W sub group, due to the retirement of the current sub-manager.

This is an active and growing QSL group, involving around 15-20,000 QSL cards, delivered in three to four batches for sorting and distribution each year.

Prospective volunteers will need to have some time, a little space for storage and basic spreadsheet skills.

As part of reorganisation, some M0 groups are being consolidated.

All calls in the M0A to M0F will shortly become one QSL sub-group under a new sub-manager, yet to be appointed.

If you are interested in taking on the new M0A-F sub group, or the MW-2W group, please register your interest by emailing qsl@rsgb.org.uk.
