[SADXA] qsl cards

[Douglas Todd]

Yep.... I'm using LOTW, and was able to trim the number of cards to 7 for 
the WAS award. The big problem is that of the 72 DXCC  stations that I've 
worked, 26 have responded via LOTW.

I have some cards from  places that don't use LOTW.

So the idea is to send out a bunch of cards to all those who avoid the 
modern wonders of the Internet...


Anyone know what methods get the highest number of returns for DXCC cards ? 
Is Direct better than Bureau, are green stamps better than IRC's ?


Thanks all.

Doug
