[CQ-Contest] QSLing

[Randall K Martin]

On a different thread for the subject, I'm wondering if there is the 
possibility of setting up a "NO QSL" list, similar to the no-call list 
for phones (although the no-call list doesn't seem to work that well!)

I have always attempted to answer all bureau cards as quickly as 
possible. It isn't unusual for me to send out a thousand or more replies 
in a given year. In fact, I am in the middle of answering a new batch 
that just came in.

One thing I notice is that there seems to be a high number of DX ops 
that have chosen to simply QSL 100%, many using a third party company to 
print and forward the cards. If I receive a card that doesn't 
specifically state "Please QSL", then I don't do any more than place it 
in another big box which will eventually be disposed of by my XYL or son 
when I become an SK. Sometimes I will even place them in file 13.

Any ideas on how a registry could be created, where you could indicate 
that you do not want any qsl cards from anyone? The 100% QSLers could 
save some money by filtering their logs against the list, and then only 
sending cards for the remaining contacts.

I think I have enough JA QSL's to fill up a bathtub. I don't mind 
replying to people who truly need a QSL from Colorado, but I'd love to 
find a way to cut down on the time I spend handling QSL requests.
