VP9I VP9I is the callsign of the VP9I DX Club and is only used during contests by club members. Membership is open to all amateur radio operators from the VP9GE location. In major contests it may help overcome any problems with signing <homecall/VP9>. As with any special contest callsign which is used numerous times, QSLing can be a problem. Hence QSLs for VP9I are handled by a manager.

WW3S is the manager for VP9I QSLs for the callsign VP9I are accepted either via the ARRL bureau or direct. Cards sent to the VP9 QSL Bureau cannot be confirmed.  For Direct cards please enclose: USA only: Self Addressed Stamped Envelope. Non-USA: Self Addressed Envelope plus US$2. IRCs are no longer accepted at the USPS. Loose US stamps are also welcome from USA. I cannot use stamps or currency from other countries. QSLs received direct but without a self-addressed envelope or with insufficient return postage, will receive confirmations via the bureau. Direct QSLs should be sent to: James S. Tolbert, 21986 Russet Dr., Meadville, PA 16335 USA Do NOT put your address in the 'from' area of your return envelope. The USPS will not accept mail addressed this way, or will destroy it! You can check ClubLog to see if you are included.
