I am sure most card collectors understand your situation. One solution
I tried was to get generic contact cards (W4MPY has them) and fill them
out for the contact and then send them with an SASE requesting that they
be signed and returned. The results were marginally better, but still
not what I had hoped. I wonder what percentage of us are still logging
each contact.



Sent SASE's to all states and over 120 Grid square contacts

Only 60% of the Grid Squares have come back - Sent 18 Months Ago

Of the states -- all came back except WY and RI

In todays mail my SASE to WY came back -- 3 and half years after I sent it !
Oh well at least I got it

For RI after a year -- sent another SASE -- no return. After another year --
made up a QSL card for the guy along with an SASE -- no return. Only a few
thousand Hams in RI and I am on the west coast. Could be years B4 I catch
another.

So if you work six meters it is important to QSL, the award managers want
the cards as proof.

Working all states on six is achievable -- but not easy - could take several
years.

I gave up on 100 grid squares VUCC just such a poor QSL return

Grouse and complain

CL looking for KY on 6
