QSL'ing rate of return opinions sought
One aspect of our hobby that I have always enjoyed is collecting QSL's. I
have a certain amount of interest in various operating awards. Currently my goals are 6 and 2 meter WAS & DXCC and 80 and 160 meter DXCC. Overall, my rate of return on QSL's sent is good for DX stations, but it is dismal for US stations. I always include an SASE and a personal note, and generally engage in the type of QSO the other person seems to be looking for, such as a quick exhange of reports on AU or MS or an opening or a more lengthy QSO when conditions are appropriate. In the past I have even included contact cards already filled out with the QSO information so the repcient only had to sign it and return it in the enclosed SASE. I would like to hear others' opinions as to the reasons for not returning a QSL and on how to improve the rate of return. |
