Gentlemen;  while you counting the 32 cent stamps on the backs of the
cards please consider the following minor points associated with the ARRL
outgoing bureau:
1 - The people who work there have to get paid.
2 - There is a burden cost (lights, desks, associated equipment)
     that must be paid.
3 - The price of postage continues to rise whether you want to answer
     QSLs or not.
Taken together, the ARRL outoing QSL bureau represents one of the 
best reasons for being a League member if you're a DXer.  
It is a terrific benefit of membership.
-73- Steve, W2ML
