Hello:
I'm going through a stack of received bureau cards, mostly from contest operations. I'm more than happy to receive all these cards, and I lovingly examine them and file them in order. I do however receive MANY bureau cards from Europe that have obviously been sent in a mass printing dump, for the same band and mode that I have QSLed before - some are even handwritten. I've taken to checking in my logging program DXbase to see whether I've QSLed them before on that band mode, and then I ignore the second request.
But then I've wondered if by some circumstance they needed another card for some other reason - I just now looked at a QSL from IK2VFW - ""From fire destruction pse QSL again 73". I'll answer this one ! Fausto I hope you and your family are OK !
I have 55,000 QSLs over 37 years and still expanding - not as many as K3ZO I don't think !
