[ADXA] The Cost of a QSL

[w5zn at w5zn.org]

I don't want to start a big discussion or a complaint thread with this, 
but the cost of a QSL is a valid topic now that we are actually seeing a 
high cost for such. It appears 3Y0J is $15 (despite having raised almost 
$1M) for basically a failed effort and Crozet is $10.

The question at hand is, if ADXA donates $1,000 to a DXpedition (or any 
donation amount!) should our members receive the same "discount" for a 
QSL as an individual who contributed and receives if the DXpedition is 
offering one.

Roger, N5QS, and I had this discussion some time ago, before COVID, then 
it sort of fell into the noise since there weren't any DXpeditions 
during that time. It is a valid point now and also a question of whether 
we should make our donation contingent on our members receiving a 
discounted QSL cost. I'm not sure how to make that happen, the logistics 
involved, or even if it is possible.

We'll do some investigation into this and find out what other DX clubs 
are doing.
