HF, too, now that you mention it.  Even in the early oughties, if I
worked a few hundred in SS, I'd get cards the next couple weeks, but I
don't know when the last time was that I got a SASE or a postcard.
Some, yes, but not many.

One of the fellows in the club and I gave a presentation on the buro
system the other year, maybe we need to reprise that. I know I need to
re-do my LOTW presentation to account for the new and better TQSL
software.
