Dave, in all actuality many (most) hams no longer qsl for actual over

the cost of not only the cards but postage required to mail the cards

Speak for yourself. *I will print out and mail a card to anyone who

project.

I doubt I'll get more than 2 or 3 requests a year.

I occasionally get cards from SWLers and I always answer them.

I gladly send QSLs to SWLers - that's how I first got into the hobby
and I am happy to encourage anyone who monitors me on HF to send me a
report - I actually will QSL anyone - ham or SWL - no postage
necessary - maybe I don't make that many contacts or maybe I just
reckon that's a part of the hobby that should be kept alive.
