Bruce's (N6NT's) comments provoke this response... This spring, I experimented with QSLing every unique QSO (every QSO with a station not QSLed before on a given band and mode) made in the last 2 yea
As a sorter for the W5 Buro, I do have cards that pile up into the pounds for certain dxer's and contesters, in most cases, I do have envelopes for these people. But my main comment to the group is i

Gentlemen; while you counting the 32 cent stamps on the backs of the cards please consider the following minor points associated with the ARRL outgoing bureau: 1 - The people who work there have to g
I like QSL'ing even after 46 years of very active hamming. I keep an analog system of 11 books with calls of all the non-W's I have worked since I got the call K3ZO, and after each contest I carefull

In light of the fact that it's 1998, and that the electronic age is upon us, I think it's time maybe we rethink QSL cards altogether. I also think it's time to do this due to the fact that I have bee

As long as we are talking about contesters in WVA, how often do you think DX stations change the default (04) of W8AH and N8YYS and other 8 stations in WVA to the correctly sent zone of 05? I bet the

When I lived in WV (most of my life) DX stations I worked in CQWW would many times question me when I sent Zone 5. They wanted to place me in Zone 4. This was before computer logging. As a fairly ac
