[Dx-qsl] Does card style matter ?

[Ron Notarius WN3VAW]

The look of your QSL is up to you.

There are many of us (myself included) who appreciate a card that's had some
thought put into it, be it a photo QSL, or some well done artwork, or
something a little different.

Having said that, I can of course appreciate the plight of DXpeditions and
DX QSL Managers who handle hundreds if not thousands of cards per week.  For
these folks, it probably takes a really different or outstanding card to
make them take notice -- not because they're unappreciative, just because of
the raw number they see all the time.

So... there's not one good answer to your question, Matt.

Consider it a matter of personal pride.  Don't worry about what's going to
happen to the card.  What type of card do you want to send out?  That's the
real question.

Good luck!

Does anyone think that if one uses the usual methords (SAE and proper return
postage plus the often inevitable change) that it would make a difference if
someone went from a color map card (mine is unique as far as I know) to
simple text on colored paper ?

I've seen the DX stations and it seems that cards sent to the DX end up
filed in drawers.

I appreciate all the photo cards on the other hand, because they're
differnet from what one sees on line.

But obviously it's different when you are the DX.

So I wonder how much expenditure one should put into a card these days from
our end.
