[DX] Incoming QSL bureau experiences

[Semi Big gun DXer]

I am wondering what kind of experiences people have
with their incoming QSL bureau.  Back in the 1980s our
QSL bureau was managed by a very efficient club.  I
got envelopes every month, and they had it to the
point where I knew what day each month it would arrive
on.  This was pure QSL heaven.

Well a different DX club took over QSL
responsibilities, and my experiences changed.  Now I
see 2, maybe 3 envelopes a year.  I think my last one
came last october or november.  I will get 5-6 oz of
cards at a time, though.  I am working plenty of DX,
so the time between shipments is not due to lack of
QSLs coming in.  I keep them supplied with address
labels and money for stamps.

I understand that QSL bureaus are manned by
volunteers, and I greatly appreciate the work they do.
 I am just curious as to why service would change so
drastically.  How often do others get shippments from
the bureau?  Is 2 a year normal?  At one point I
considered changing my call trying to get back to the
original good service I had.  What call districts seem
to have the best service?

73s to all
