> One card may not seem like much after all it costs me is another
envelope and 0ドル.37 cents. I have been at the DX game long enough to know
what can and usually will happen to a card once mailed but there are not
enough mitigating circumstances for me to contribute to another stations
QSLing. If they will respond to an email then I will await their SASE, past
that point what happens to their card is up how I feel at some point in
time.
> In the past couple of weeks on two separate occasions I have received
cards for 4 other stations in addition to the card that I requested. I have
received no answers to any emails so all eight cards have been more or less
disposed of, at least they are no longer in my possession.
