National QSL Exchange Service

Luxembourg QSL Bureau

Send and receive your QSL cards easily and free of charge through our monthly service

What is a QSL Bureau?

A QSL Bureau is a service used by radio amateurs to exchange QSL cards worldwide. Instead of sending each card individually by postal mail, national bureaus collect, sort, and forward cards in bulk — making the process much cheaper and more efficient.

How does the RL QSL Bureau work?

  • RL members can drop off and pick up their QSL cards for free during monthly meetings and club evenings.
  • The QSL‑OUT service is handled by volunteers who sort outgoing cards and forward them to the appropriate national bureaus. This service is free for every RL member for his main call-sign with which he is registered at the RL member database. For every additional personal call-sign for which he wants to send QSL cards via the bureau, half the cost of a membership contribution is due.
  • To help our volunteers, please sort your outgoing cards according to the RL sorting list.
  • The QSL‑IN service distributes incoming cards from abroad to each member according to their callsign, LX or non‑LX.
  • The incoming service for licenced amateur radio operators which are not a member of the RL is based on IARU Resolution 18-1. The service is therefore offered in a cost-covering way: every non-member may request twice per year to get his QSL cards sent by mail to the address of his station. It is not possible to collect the cards personally from the QSL bureau. The fees charged to every non-member per request are composed of the packaging and the postage costs, with an added 23.5% of this amount to cover administrative, logistics and storage costs, and in order to participate to the global costs of the QSL service.
  • No outgoing service is provided for non-Members.
  • RL-Members can leave and collect their QSL cards on each monthly meeting in Peppange and at the Club evening in Eisenborn.
  • If you’re a member with more than one callsign, or if you use a special callsign, or if you take away QSL cards from other members during the monthly meetings, then get in touch with the QSL Manager by email (qsl(at)rl.lu). If he can sort the cards in advance, it’ll make things easier.
  • If you use a special callsign when you’re on holiday, please let him also know.
