[UK-CONTEST] No QSLs please..?

Folks,

I've been surprised at how many stations automatically send qsl cards 
for contest QSOs. I've been getting loads from DLs for instance and to 
be honest I don't particularly need 'em but feel an obligation to 
reciprocate nevertheless.

It's clearly not possible to indicate your qsl preferences during a 
contest so I was wondering how others feel about this and if anyone has 
any suggestions of how to prevent them piling in after a contest - an 
indication in one's profile on QRZ.COM perhaps (maybe a note in the 
Times personal column...??) or is there a good contesting list which 
would be read by the bulk of contesters where you could circulate your 
wishes.

I would want to indicate that I'm happy to send my card to those who 
maybe need a GW card, but don't need one in return; seems such a waste 
of time, paper and effort for something that will probably end up in the 
recycling bin - shame.

73,

Stewart Rolfe, GW0ETF
