P.S. I know lots of Hams who have worked DXCC Mixed, Phone, and CW who do
not collect or submit cards. Some with counts in the high 200's

Why -- too cheap, beneath their dignity to collect postcards, tis a personal
achievent, and from the treasure of Sierra Madre ----- QSL cards QSL card --
I don't gotta show you no stinkin QSL cards.


Based on previously given statistics:

"over 38,000 Amateurs world wide have the DXCC awards"

It seems like a relatively small percentage of the ham population
collect post cards and redeem them for DXCC awards.

If 38,000 U.S. amateurs had DXCC awards, that would be 5.5% of
the total U.S. ham population, which was 684,637 as of 7/01/2003.

So we can assume that over 95% of U.S. licensed hams don't play
DXCC - which means it is totally acceptable not to collect post cards
and play DXCC and still be a ham.

Looks like lots of hams still measure things with a ruler instead of
with DXCC clicks.....
