I don't know about others, but the Lotw doesn't thrill me too much. It just
results in a database of people who confirm they worked you?
I have uploaded most of my QSOs but do it when "I get around to it" and
probably will update it once a month or so.
If someone sends me a QSL with an SASE I will reply within one week.
Buro cards get sent out a couple of times a year.
Contesters are much better QSLers than the general ham community from what I
have observed over the years.
