[CQ-Contest] QSLing

[Bob Raymond]

As I was fretting over the nearly 100 DL cards (mostly from WAG contest) in my most recent buro delivery, many from whom I've worked and QSLed many times, I came across a card from a young DL ham to appeared to be a pre-teen in his photo.  Made my day.

While this may upset the sentimentalists, the paper cards no longer serve any purpose. 

If a paper card encourages a ham to stay on the air, then that is purpose enough for me. 

If a paper card encourages fraternalism, then that is purpose enough for me. 

If a paper card makes the day of one recipient out of fifty, then that is purpose enough for me. 

Contest Exuberantly,
