Most hams will gladly send you a QSL card. The QRZ database has all
their addresses.


Dave, in all actuality many (most) hams no longer qsl for actual over
the air contacts let alone (most gladly send you a QSL card). Sadly
the cost of not only the cards but postage required to mail the cards
has relegated this activity as a dying exercise. Sad to say!

JMHO


I've never been into QSL card collecting, but when I was a kid my best
friend was.

I'll send a QSL card with one of my astronomy photos on it to anyone who
gets me a reception report.

If I know it's a kid I'll probably try to do something extra.
