Bill isn't it in good hamspirit to answer those QSLs you receive? Why do we
(the ham community) keep a QSL buro system if you can only obtain a QSL
through the normal postal services at a much more expensive rate.
The plain idea of the QSL buro system is to minimize the cost for those who
are interested in QSLing, OK everyone is not interested in collecting cards
and awards, but it is darn rude and non-hamspirit not to answer QSLs from a
Deserving one.
If I were to send all my QSL cards through the usual postal services I could
buy a FT9000DX 400W model every year for the same money! Wow that is a lot
of money I don't have, but now instead I can use the QSL buro system
engineered to let everyone, despite money on the account share their cards
for only a few bucks every year, even if you send 10.000 QSLs.
Just my 2 eurocents worth!
