Hello John,
Having just gotten back into MW DXing, I was wondering, do the
stations, primarily in North America, still send out the old "card"
type QSL cards? Last ones I had were from my high school days with
and old Hallicrafter's S-120!
Thanks,
Bob Grimes

Extremely few do. Of the 250 latest NA AM veries I've received in the
past 2-3 years, perhaps 3 or 4 were "old school" QSL cards. Most of
the rest were emails, including a few with a Word file or JPG file
attachment. Nowadays, addressing the Program Directors may be more
rewarding than addressing the Chief Engineers. And you will need to
accept verie texts like "yes, that's us" or similar instead of the
traditional QSL text.

Actually, writing a traditional reception report with program details
etc is probably going to get you nowhere. Station personell are too
busy. Emails with a small MP3 or WAV file is what can trigger a
response.
