Important changes to the RSGB QSL Service

| January 16, 2026

The RSGB is pleased to announce the next stage in developing its QSL Bureau Services following the retirement of RSGB QSL Bureau Manager Richard Constantine, G3UGF.

After a comprehensive review of long-term options, the Society has entered into a formal Contractual Agreement with the German National Radio Society – Deutscher Amateur Radio Club (DARC) – to process all incoming and outgoing RSGB QSL cards.

DARC operates a modern, high-capacity QSL bureau. Its systems already support a number of national societies and offer industrial-scale reliability, digital processing capability and long-term resilience. This partnership will provide a robust and effective QSL bureau service for RSGB members.

Volunteers remain central to the RSGB QSL Bureau Service. We extend our thanks to all sub-managers, whose dedication forms the backbone of the service. The new arrangements are designed to support volunteer involvement, not replace it, and to ensure volunteers have a strong infrastructure behind them.

The new service preserves the traditional bureau structure but will offer additional options for Members who send cards.  For full details please visit the QSL Bureau pages on our website.
