QSL Bureau

Brit Fader Memorial QSL Bureau

Brit Fader (VE1FQ) ran the VE1 and VE0 QSL bureau for over 49 years. He was Mr. QSL and Mr. Field Day for many of those years. The Brit Fader Memorial QSL Bureau, respectfully named in honour of VE1FQ, is operated by HARC using the RAC “Method B” for funding this service. This means that any Amateur Radio Operator wishing to receive QSL cards from the Incoming Canadian Bureau MUST establish an account with the VE1 QSL Bureau. To set up or to update your account, please email QSL Bureau Manager. Include your name, callsign, address, phone number, and email, indicate whether you wish your cards to be mailed, picked up at swap meets/flea markets, or at HARC meetings, see below. A minimum deposit of $5.00 is required in your Bureau Account. Postage will be debited from the account when cards are mailed out to you. Mail a cheque to the Brit Fader QSL Bureau, PO Box 24018, Dartmouth, NS, B3A 4T4. Visit the QSL Bureau in the HARC Station located in Fire Station #50 at 2050 Hammonds Plains Road. Or send an e-transfer to: QSL Bureau Manager (preferred method). A record of all transfers and any correspondence with the bank and post office is retained and is available.

Visit the Club Station when the Bureau is open during the Social Hour prior to the monthly HARC meeting that takes place on the third Wednesday of each month and pick up your cards and save the postal fee. In addition, your account will be charged $1.00 for each card pickup or mail-out to help defray our Bureau administrative costs.

Additionally, you may email the QSL Bureau and indicate that you will visit Mic Mac Mall on Tuesday evenings, (7PM) (third floor by Urban Planet) and Friday mornings (11AM same floor, near the elevators, to pick up your cards during the HARC/DARC coffee socials.
