[CQ-Contest] LOTW

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

Bill,

There seems to be a brisk business in QSL cards exchanging hands on eBay. 
Just search for "QSL Cards".

If you are more ultraistic, then the Austrians have a gigantic QSL 
Collection and accept donations. You can find more information about their 
non-profit enterprise here:  http://www.qsl.at/english/welcome.html
