My XYL, K7MKL, has had her Extra for less than a year and her General
not much more than that. She is thrilled by the DX QSLs she's been able
to acquire and wants to get one from every DXCC entity she works,
regardless of LoTW confirmations. She is bewildered at the DX stations
who refuse to confirm with paper, even with an SAE and IRC or green
stamp(s).
I am working on a display of QSLs for something in excess of 320 DXCC
entities (not mine, unfortunately) and it is an amazing sight. It
saddens me that so many new DXer's will never have the thrill of seeing
anywhere near that number of cards on their walls. I guess there are
those of us who have been around for 50+ years and just become callous.
Some have even become curmudgeons :>)
