[RTTY] wx9x qsl cards?

[Jim Lowman]

Makes me glad that I ordered 1,000 cards from WX9X a few years ago.  The particular design that I chose was very similar to the one I had in the 1960s as a new General-class operator.
 
A lot of hams now print their own cards, although I'm not sure that this is more economical than commercially-printed cards, all things considered.  I guess it does have the advantage that the QSO information can be filled in by the program that prints the card.
 
Another factor may be electronic QSLs.
 
Then again, there are hams who are known not to send QSL cards.
 
Possibly the printer retired?  Anyone know how long WX9X was in business?

Another victim of declining sunspots?
