[CQ-Contest] Contest QSOs: To QSL or not to QSL

[Barry]

Bill,
Personally, I answer all buro cards received. I do a label run and 
send them about once per year. If I've already QSLed a particular 
band/mode for a station, I don't reQSL it. I don't QSL guys who 
send me a card for every contest QSO ever made, who probably 
don't want my card anyway (eg., ON4UN).
Cards received direct with SASE, I answer immediately. Stateside 
cards received w/o SASE go in the garbage, or if DX, get replied to 
via the buro. I also reply to SWL cards via the buro.
DX4WIN makes this all pretty easy.
That about sums up what I do.
