To all of you contesters, dxers and others out there who are concerned
(euphemism for finding excuses) with the lack of time and/or money for
qsling, may I suggest a following solution: after you have completed yet
another successful contest by working say 2 or 3 thousand QSOs, go to
your nearest Business Depot or a similar office supply store, and buy
printer labels in bulk. You should not have too much trouble buying them
for about 0.5 cents (yes, that's half a cent) per label. Then go back
home and print all your contest QSOs, but DO NOT stick the labels onto
your blank QSLs. Store all the printed labels somewhere, sorted by
contest type and date. Then, after you've received a batch of cards from
the buro (or whatever), sort these by contest type and date, look up the
respective QSOs, find the labels, stick them onto the blank QSLs and
send them off to the buro. Cost involved is minimal: just $5 per 1000
QSOs, and you save on QSLs by using multiple QSO labels for one
respective callsign. Every logging program, including CT has a label
printing routine, therefore, no additional cost involved. Since you
print labels only once after each contest, there's no too much time
involved, apart from usual qsling lookup routine. Now, if this is not
good enough for you, you're beyond help...
