How to obtain a QSL card from ARISS (the International Space Station amateur radio station)

BH4HZD

这是我的第一个帖子，有什么不对的欢迎指正

先来看看qsl卡片长啥样吧

符合什么条件可以申请该qsl卡片？

正如图片中所展示的，在以下操作后可以申请

跟宇航员完成一次通联
数据包
接收sstv
发送ARPS数据包
使用ISS转发器

如何申请？

在ARISS官网上显示亚太地区需要寄给日本的卡片局，地址如下（在信封上就按照这个格式写）
ARISS Japan QSL
JARL International Section
Otsuka HT Bldg.
3-43-1 Minamiotsuka
Toshima-ku
Tokyo 170-8073
JAPAN

信中需要包含收听报告(或qsl,swl卡片，如是接收sstv则需附上接收的图片)，两张IRC，写好了自己地址的信封
收听报告需要包含以下内容

日期
UTC时间
频率
模式
你的呼号

小建议:

寄过去的时候用c5信封，方便贴邮票和写地址，附上DL信封。
邮局工作人员可能会跟你说没写收件人姓名，你直接说不是寄给个人的就行
寄航空信
不挂号的话一般是19元，挂号+3元，可以提前买打折邮票贴好，更省钱
寄过去我花了两个星期，寄回来也是两个星期，所以一般两个月以内就能收到，耐心等待

最后祝各位成功申请qsl卡

Why did I, a beginner, get immediately presented with such advanced content? Perhaps it's only for people who are fluent in English and can communicate with astronauts. Otherwise, I wouldn't understand anything.😂

BH4HZD

BI9CAP In fact, receiving SSTV and using a repeater are quite simple. My first QSL card from my amateur radio hobby was this one, so I can try it again when there are more SSTV activities.

BH4HZD Okay, thank you.

RegardingIRC International Reply CouponInstructions

Today, I visited every post office within a 10-kilometer radius. I called all the post offices in Pudong New Area, and finally concluded that neither sells nor exchanges international reply coupons.Pudong New District, ShanghaiThe post office isNoIf you are selling or exchanging international return vouchers in Youtai, Pudong New Area, you can buy them on Taobao.

BH4HZD The post office does not have "stock" available; you can request this from your supervisor. If you are not given the option to exchange, please call 11185 to file a complaint.

BH4HZD 我之前在上海桃浦邮政支局买到了很多张可以试试

The cost is a bit high, but if you receive an SSTV image from UMKA-1, you can apply for a free electronic communication card!

BH4HZD

BD4UIP That's right, but I still feel that e-QSL lacks something special; after all, there's a certain satisfaction in holding a physical QSL card.
And this trip of around 30-40 yuan solved the problem, while considering all the miscellaneous expenses incurred during my amateur activities, it wasn't a significant amount (）.

BH4HZD 1:165th Anniversary Commemorative Cards (40 USD)
2: A3 paper QSO certificate, $10
3: Russian 3D postage stamps for $40 USD
The entire set costs around $100.

BI4MIG

Why are there two IRCs? Is it too heavy?

BH4HZD

BI4MIG One stamp isn't enough; it won't be returned.

BH4HZD

BG5ELQ The postal workers here at our local post office don't know anything about IRC either.
A responsible older gentleman called me specifically to explain the situation, saying that they had discontinued their IRC business several years ago due to logistical difficulties. I didn't want to trouble them.

So, can I get a QSL card just by receiving an SSTV transmission? I checked their website, but I couldn't understand it. What is IRC? Should I write UTC+8 on the DL envelope? And should I put my address in the Japanese QSL card bureau's envelope? I don't know if my small post office can mail it.

BH4HZD

BI2WD
The following corresponds to your questions in order.
1. Available for purchase
2. IRC is an international reply coupon that costs 12 RMB each. You can simply purchase it at your local post office.
3. UTC time is equivalent to Beijing time plus 8 hours.
4. Correct
5. Any post office can handle it.

BH4HZD

BD4UIP If it's too expensive, we don't need it.

BI2WD

BH4HZD Thank you.

BH4HZD UTC 时间就是北京时间 + 8 小时

小小挑刺一下，UTC时间应该是北京时间 - 8小时
（因为北京时间是UTC + 8小时）

After I participated in the SSTV activity with ISS in October, I sent the QSL card directly to them without attaching the received images. I'm not sure if this is acceptable. The others all mailed their cards according to the instructions. Also, how long does it typically take to receive a reply after mailing?

BH4HZD

BG4JGB It shouldn't work without a picture; I usually receive it within about a month after sending it.

BG5JFI

BG4JGB I'm in exactly the same situation as you... I'm really worried and don't know if I'll receive a reply.

Or, could you please resend the SSTV image reception results? At least this way, the two reply coupons I already sent wouldn't be wasted...? After all, those two reply coupons are quite expensive.

BG4JGB

BH4HZD I thought that after applying for this award, I could directly get a new QSL card.😂It seems like it's not going to happen.

BG4JGB

BG5JFI 没事，我已经收到回信了，不寄图片也可以的
