[Dx-qsl] LOTW vs paper QSL's

[Michael G. Carper]

I respect that, Rob.  To that end, if I need your card... I'll send you one
of mine (and SASE) so I can get your card in return.  Exchanging paper cards
will always be acceptable - just not the preferred method by all.

Mike, WA9PIE

Hi Mike , I hate to object to that. Eqsling sucks! I upload a crappy image
and somebody else prints it?  For those of us who like qsling and having our
qsls professionally made, getting a nice card is a plus. What kida turns me
off  is getting a computer paper qsl or the station telling me to eqsl... As
I say I'll eqsl that day I have an eqso.
