A *BIG* thank you to everyone who donated to make the new 2011 cards happen! We are *NOT* supported by the Speedway and all donations go *DIRECTLY* into buying the QSL cards every year.
We send the cards out as soon as possible after each event, but it is a huge task. They have to be designed, approved, printed, and shipped to us first. Then, we need to fill them in. With over 12,000 QSOs this year alone, that's a lot of cards. We finish all the QSL cards before we start making out the certificates. Typically we start mailing out certificates in November.
With your donations we will again have a unique full-color two-sided card for each of the three races.
A high-quality photo certificate will be available for working ALL three races in the same year (Indianapolis 500, Brickyard 400, and Red Bull Indianapolis GP).
The cost for printing these and the cards comes from your donations and the rest from out of our own pockets. We are NOT supported by the Speedway.
For the QSL cards, we must insist on an SASE with your QSL card with the date, time, band, mode, and report of the QSO. NO SASE, NO CARD - NO EXCEPTION.
To apply for a certificate, please send $5 and the QSO data for all three events that you worked!
The $5 covers:
Custom printed certificate
Cardboard stiffiner
Cards for each of the three races
Envelope for all of the above
Postage
USA STATIONS (FOR CERTIFICATE)- you must work all three races in the same year. Working us three times for one race or on three bands for one race does not count and you will not receive a certificate. If you qualify, please send a QSL listing the date, time, frequency, and report for the contacts for the three different races in the same year (you can list all three on one QSL card) along with $5. We will send back all three QSL cards and the certificate. The certificate is on high-quality photo paper.
