Remember when it was an SASE, two cereal boxtops, a small ammount of money,
and six to eight weeks? I'm still waiting for that floatplane model from
Rice Crispies after all these years......

Just remember, if you can't spell Rice Krispies with a "K" you may not
deserve the float plane model.
Seriously, I have been very lucky and had almost every QSL request with an
SAE and adaquate postage or an SASE was returned with the QSL card for 160
WAS and DXCC awards. Reminding the party on the other end by e-mail that
you needed their QSL helped me get a few of the toughest cards. I still
kick myself every month for not QSLing TT8JFC quickly, as I now think I will
never get a card for that 160 meter contact.
