[Dx-qsl] Rec'd via LOTW...question

[Dick Williams]

Jeff,

I highly doubt that paper QSL's will ever go away; there are not enough 
users of LOTW or eQSL as of yet.

I, like you, enjoyed receiving the card for new countries; but after 
accumlating more cards than I can count, I am just as "pacified" having new 
band/mode contacts confirmed by LOTW.  Plus, in many instances you receive 
"instant gradification" (I worked 9H1SP earlier today, and he is now 
confirmed via LOTW).

I think LOTW and eQSL will become more popular. It costs three bucks to 
receive a card, and when you start adding up band/mode contacts, it starts 
to get rather expensive.

In any case, I would find more important things to worry about (like will 
7O1A or 7O1YGF ever count towards DXCC).
