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.
