[UK-CONTEST] "Collecting" QSLs...

[Peter Hobbs]

Nigel,

Actually it was you in particular I was expecting (hoping for!) a reaction 
from mate.  I did say my remarks were tongue in cheek, but I seriously do 
believe that soft has to be the way ahead.  Why should a paperless QSL be 
any less attractive?  It could carry a lot more interesting background 
information on station, operator, QTH, history, etc. than is practical to 
handle manually, all instantly accessible.

And even an amazing collection like yours would easily fit a shoebox!
