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.

You go, Mark - two of the best hobbies ever conceived, and few that
can spark the imagination in the same way.
