[Dx-qsl] Found - QSL card containers

[Robert G. Schaffrath]

I followed Phil's advice too and I am very pleased with them.  However, I
noticed on the shelf at Lowes that there were quite a few "shattered" ones
leading me to believe they cannot take alot of abuse (they do not appear to
crack but rather shatter into pieces).  I would not think of throwing them
down a flight of stairs but I am not sure they could stand up to
accidentally falling from a height of 3 feet while empty let alone packed
with cards.  Of course at $1.24 I would not expect them to be overly
durable.

73,
Robert, N2JTX
