I agree with your observations.

After checking my log and return on 6 meter QSL's I have found
that 6 meter ops are the worst return rate I have. I do better on
DX either direct, to a manager or via the buro.
...

I suspect the low rate of return may be because there are many
Technician class operators on the band and as such do not have QSL
cards like the HF ops. But gee one can make their own with a
computer and an ink jet printer http://www.qsl.net/wa7s/

Heck; do it online for free:

This assumes the other guy is with LOTW -- I suspect few Techs are on this
program.
My return of LOTW for 6M contacts is minimal. But pretty good for HF.

But a worth while program Logbook of the World

I supect (and being a tech perhaps my suspisions on such a subject
should indeed carry weight) you are right

....program?

That isn't the best either, 2000+ contacts and I have 400 QSL cards for it.

Yeah, my return rate isn't very good either, but it's there, it's
free and it works.

If you keep your logs on a PC, it's silly not to use it.

On the other hand, the boxes full of QSL cards are fun to browse
through when I'm feeling nostalgic for the good old days when we had
sunspots :-)
