In light of the cost of delivery calculated by Director Norton's constituent, a better inquiry might be: how many QSTs are we delivering every month by First Class? Diane, Bob, Becky could you please advise as to how many per month? ______________________________________ John Robert Stratton N5AUS Director West Gulf Division Office:512-445-6262 Cell:512-426-2028 P.O.

Without knowing the members call it is impossible to determine if this is an oversight, error, issue, or normal. I asked Dick and he replied the member " Doesn't want it revealed. ".
So I guess Dick, you will need to validate the members membership status and go from there. It could be a mistake, or it may not. Without knowing the callsign (or name) it's pretty hard to help.
Dick, I would ask the member to call membership services themselves and ask the question unless you are able to validate the level of membership yourself.

Anyone donating $500. or more (Diamond Club silver level) is automatically sent their magazine by first class. I requested that mine NOT be sent first class, and this was done.

Maybe a Diamond Club member? Mine started coming first class mail when I signed up for Diamond club.

Received interesting input today.
A member commented on receiving QST lately in a white envelope with $2.94 postage.
The member multiplied the $2.94 by 12 months, and noticed the cost of sending the magazine for a year was $35.28 plus the cost of 12 large envelopes and the effort needed to stuff and prepare them. This is getting close to the $49 a year total dues.
This was particularly noticeable with respect to the dues increase survey.
Why would a member who is not a Board member or advertiser start receiving QST delivered as First Class Mail?
