Hi Darryl,
The sound you hear is the collision of two cultures! The "heritage" hams
who are set in their ways and won't consider ANY change and the progressives
(who I bet are younger and more internet savvy). I'm with you on this and
have been for at least seven or eight years when one of my fellow Cuba Libre
Contesters, Peter AB6WM/C31LJ, proposed PKI based net based QSLs for our
annual sojourn to V31DX.
Save a tree! Go eQSL!
best,
John W2NA /V31DX
