[UK-CONTEST] Short calls & the buro

[tom wylie]

people WANT Contest cards???   Every year after Field Day
I get a single Card from DK0EE for EVERY band.   Contest cards totally 
clog up the Buro system.  I'd venture to suggest about 95% are unwanted 
and only serve to make the printers happy!!!    With LOTW and E-QSL 99% 
of cards are now just pulp material.....

I am fully aware that my youth has been spent
That my get up and go - has got up and went
But I really dont mind when I think with a grin
of all the great places my "get up" has been!
