[QSL-Managers] SASE or SASE not...

[John Peters]

How about the NON DX stations with a QSL Mgr?  Like the radio club on a
historic ship.  With a very clear message on the QRZ.COM "want QSL, send
SASE" but about 10% still send a postcard or put their card in an envelope
with no SASE.  The ship is run by a non profit foundation that barely makes
enough to cover the costs.  I not only QSL Mgr but designed and printed the
color photo cards (since I served in the same type Ship), but I not inclined
to also pay their postage.

With the EXCEPTION of low income DX and "My daddy took me to see...when I
was 6 etc"  or "I served in the USS xx back in".  etc types. I'll pay their
costs.
