Generally, all I want is a confirmation of some type that I can use for
awards. I think everyone should upload to both eQSL and LoTW. This would
solve most QSLing problems. Contesters particularly should QSL everything by
eQSL and LoTW as part of the log submittal process.
Dxpeditions should use OQRS and direct/SAE/IRC/$$. I have no problem with
them encouraging contributions. These trips are expensive and we should
all pitch in to help. After a reasonable length of time they should upload
their logs to eQSL and LoTW. At that time, if they want to, they could do
bureau QSLing for received cards.
Most bureau QSLs I receive are from Europe and from common countries. I
like to receive them and reply 100% using Global QSL, but eQSL and LoTW
would serve just as well. For eQSL people should design nice cards and not
use
the default eQSL designs. Ideally we should all have unique cards which
reflect our QTH, personality or interests. Anything to make us stand out in
an increasingly homogenized world.
I initiate some outgoing bureau QSLs for various reasons.
In the above context, the bureau would still be used, but at a much
smaller volume than in the past.
Electronic QSLing has greatly affected the way I QSL and much for the
better. Not only do I save trees, but I save money.

Hi,
This is bit out of topic but contesters opinion is highly valuable.
Following a discussion on DX-World.net about the next Intrepid-DX group
QSL policy I started a small poll about QSL in the 21th century in general.
Please share your opinion.

Thanks.
