As was I, however, 99.9% of my contacts are made during contest(s). I do not
consider a contest contact a QSO, and I can't remember the last QSO that I
had. It's all about "wants and needs"! I "want" your contact during a
contest, but I don't "need" it. If you "need" my QSL card you will send an
SASE! If you "want" my card, you won't send an SASE! I guarantee that all
that send an SASE, will be answered. I can't guarantee that those without an
SASE, will be!
