   IRCs are a SORE subject for a lot of us, Terry.  I've been   
   able to buy them at one post office near me, pretty regularly,   
   but it's routine to ask for them and be told:   
      
   1. "We don't carry them."  (You did a few weeks ago.)   
      
   2. "I've never heard of them."   
      
   3. "Those have been discontinued."   
      
   4. "What the heck is an IRC?"   
      
   We Americans are fairly lucky, in that "green stamps" are   
   acceptable and useful for a lot of foreign hams.
