[CQ-Contest] SASE's w/ QSL's

[WalterR148 at aol.com]

Hi,

Well, there are many sides to this issue. Stations in which are active can 
easily go broke returning QSL's to non SASE senders. My gripe: I always send 
SASE with my QSL's. I only receive abt 60-70% return rate. What do these 
people do with my SASE? It's a chance you take, and most always return a QSL. 
i GUESS SOME PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO BE BURNED FOR ANOTHER $.33 FOR A TOTAL OF 
$.66 FOR ONE QSL  when you don't know if you will receive their card. Until 
it's said and done with if you have expensive cards you and have $.76 a card 
tied up just trying to receive one card.

My new policy is if I call you and you are running a freq. I will QSL with 
SASE.  If I am running the freq. and you want my QSL, you will send me an 
SASE. If people call me when I am running a freq. I will SASE only to station 
in which I need their QSL for and award of some kind. It's a never ending 
circle when and when not to. To each their own but if you receive an SASE 
with a qsl, at least return a card in a reasonable amount of time,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
