Ad Number:	1688130
Date Placed:	05/26/24
Name:	Jeff Goldman
Phone Number:	E-MAIL ONLY
Callsign:	K3DUA
Category:	ANNOUNCE
Heading:	SHIPPING USING USPS "MEDIA MAIL"
Ad Message:	I know many of us mail books and magazines, Handbooks, Callbooks and old catalogs using the US Postal Service's MEDIA MAIL (also often referred to as Book Rate). I was made aware by my local Post Office clerk that sending items that contains advertising, EVEN OLD ADS, not allowed to be mailed using Media Mail. -THE USPS PROHIBITS MAILING ITEMS BY MEDIA MAIL (PRINTED MATTER) THAT CONTAINS ANY ADVERTISING, even if the ads are really old ads (such as in old QSTs, Callbooks, and the older ARRL Handbooks). You can try to mail items with ads using Media Mail, but if the PO catches it (and the PO has the right to open Media Mail packages/envelopes to check the contents), you, or the recipient, may get a bill for the difference in postage between Media Mail and the lowest price other mail service, such as GROUND ADVANTAGE.-See this USPS link on Media Mail, Section 4.0 and 4.1.a. of http://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/173.htm

Your Response to this Ad:

Due to the amount of non-ham scammers trying to respond to the ads, I am now asking a simple question that ham operators should easily be able to answer, but scammers may not know the answer: What is the number that hams use to represent the phrase "Best Regards"? This number is typically transmitted by hams at the end of a QSO.
Best Regards:
