OK, so I'm sending a QSL for FH/G3TXF -- and his published address has
six lines: Nigel Cawthorne Falcons St. Georges Ave. Weybridge Surrey KT13 0BS England The software I use to print envelopes can only handle four. So my question to our G readers is... Is there a proper way to combine more than one line of information so I can get this to fit in four? -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com |

Are you limited to only four lines, including the name? That seems very restrictive. It's homebrew & could take a surprising amount of time to calculate just what I need to feed to PostScript to get any additional lines to go where they need to! The envelope printing routines in my (not-homebrew) word-processor software can't seem to figure out where the envelope actually is in the printer! Anyway, our mail service is not too worried about which line things appear on. And some years ago they announced that the county would no longer be necessary in addresses, so you can quite safely omit the word "Surrey". Excellent, appreciated! (I suppose the county is implict in the postcode. Here in the States the Zip code could in theory replace the city and state, but even the additional four digits won't specify a particular address within that Zip. I have heard a tale of a QSL card being addressed simply "W6XYZ, USA" - and being successfully delivered.) -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com |
