16 days - excellent fast service.

Bruce - are you getting the majority of your QSL's via email? I only
did it that way twice before.....a couple a pirate broadcasts. Is this
how the majority are doing it now? I always liked to send a hand
written letter to the stations.

If at all possible, I want a real QSL - so...

If I have a snailmail address, to ensure a snailmail reply, I send it
there - UNLESS, like Radio Nederland, VoA, Radio Prague, Radio Romania
International and a few other major broadcasters, they encourage e-
mail reports for hardcopy QSLs. With Deutsche Welle, whose English
website instructions leave just enough uncertainty to make me wonder,
I sent a snailmail. Needless to say, the service was exceedingly fast
for two-way overseas mail. I need to send them a "thank you" for
great service. Radio Prague was like this too - ten days after an e-
mail report, I had a QSL in-hand.

All of my QSLs received to date are snailmail hardcopy, but if
necessary, I would accept an e-mail QSL. I have a slew of them out
right now, sent by either snailmail or e-mail - RNZI, R. Romania I.,
V. Nigeria, Channel Africa, VoA Botswana, RN Madagascar, Vatican, V.
Russia, R. Japan, Twentieth Century Radio, Radio Victoria - we'll see
what comes back.
