[OKDXA] Coin of the DX Realm?

After several years of relative inactivity, I'm beginning to see my way to 
some DXing again.  In the process, I've upgraded to a nice logging program, 
DXBase 2003, from my old DOS-based DXLog.  DXBase has lots of nice 
features, many of which I have not year uncovered.

Using DXBase, I was going over my past two years of operating and found 
that there are about 80 QSLs that I need to send out.  Most are for new 
band-countries, but a few are for completely new countries.  When I was 
previously active, IRCs were the coin of the DX Realm for direct QSLs.  Are 
they still? If not, what is?

Also, years ago, I subscribed to the GO List, back when it was on paper. 
Shortly before I moved, it went to a software format that I couldn't use on 
my non-widows DOS box, so I let the subscription lapse.  How do you guys 
get QSL info now?  Do any of you use the GOlist? Is it worth the 
subscription price?

Many thanks for the updates!
