[Dx-qsl] LoTW and DXpeditons

[Bill]

What are we going to do with all those cards?
I've got over 300 countries on most band/modes except 80 and 160.
Those I must save and all the other cards I receive, take up a lot of room.
And paper
and energy to transport them

I think I'm doing my ecological part by requesting LoTW instead of paper.
I'd much rather give the dxpedition the money than the Post Office.
And of course in some places, 'loss' is a major issue.
I'd gladly pay a bit via PayPal or Visa and know they got the funds safely.

I do want to say, I still respond to every bureau card I receive, 
including SWL.
But electronic qsling is a financial and ecological good idea.

Best part about TV, if some boring, historic event occurs, you can always switch to some sit-com rerun!
