[SMCARA] QSL Cards

[Jason Rearick]

Chris,   You have gotten some good advice already from everyone.  I 
recommend Logbook of the World (LOTW), and sending paper for ones you have 
to, or are requested to.  I like BOZ's thing of supporting eQSL and uploaded 
to help those guys out, and don't forget your loogbook on QRZ.com.  I have 
1473 contacts in LOTW, and have a 33% confirmed QSLs.  Its been since March 
that I have been uploading my logs to LOTW and I very close to confirming 
enough countries for DXCC, and just a couple states from WAS.  I like how 
LOTW tracks everything and once you hit your numbers for DXCC or WAS, you 
can get your certificates straight from online.  As for getting your QSL 
cards, years ago I printed mine, but now I just order mine from 
www.cheapqsls.com.  You can order from a basic card to a pretty good card.

Hope this helps in some way.

I mostly send cards for HF contacts but have sent cards for 2 meter contacts 
if I am a new hams 1st contact or it is an unusual place.  I print my own 
self designed, 1 sided cards & enjoy sending as well as receiving cards from 
others & see their designs.

</div>Howdy all,

I posed this question on a ham radio Facebook group and got some
interesting responses so I thought I'd ask it again here... where do you
stand on QSL cards? Do you send paper cards or only do eQSL, both, neither?
One sided cards or two sided? Always send one or only by request? Send
direct or use a bureau? Send one for Echolink contacts? What's your success
rate for submitted to received? Etc., etc., etc...
