But I did start receiving a lot of cards direct some yeara ago, and it wasn't economically possible to pay for return postage for all of them. So I imposed a cover-the-postage-costs fee of $3 for a card, which saw almost all cards stop. If someone does send a card now, I will tend to send the money back, because one or two cards a month is fine. There is no correct answer to QSL cards, especially if one is not a society memeber. So the conclusion you reach about simply using LoTW or similar is the logical one, albeit not quite as nice as a physical card and a moment or two spent thinking about the other station.Photonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10137649851898638015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676983452144254088.post-33560273124202178232019-11-17T04:50:00.199+01:002019-11-17T04:50:00.199+01:00Good evening Bas, I too am like you having to pay ...Good evening Bas, I too am like you having to pay for a QSL card does not sit well with me. today with the internet way waste paper join the rest of us as QSL electronically. <br />73,<br />Mike <br />VE9KKVE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.com
