[Dx-qsl] 9K2ZZ QSL's

Tue Feb 15 16:26:41 EST 2011

Ron, I'm a wallpaper collector, and I suppose a bit of a romantic. I have a 
large collection of QSL's and want to continue to enlarge that collection. 
Why did Lloyd and Iris collect QSL's? Didn't they have a million of them? 
(or some HUGE number?) When QSL's go out of style, give me your phone number 
because the equipment here is the next to go. LOTW is fine, and in good 
time I may rejoin again. I have my #1 plaque, but still work the pileups to 
keep my talents sharp. The QSO's I seek confirmation on are those I haven't 
confirmed before for additional band/mode countries. For now though, I 
choose the paper way. If I can't get the confirmation now, I'll get it 
later after I choose to rejoin. I still enjoy receiving REAL mail, with a 
REAL QSL in it. That's still the kid in me when I got into this hobby at 11 
years old. That enjoyment I don't wish to give up now, or ever. There's so 
little personal connection anymore, I think the QSL is close to that last 
tie.
Please forgive my eccentricities, but I'm after more than the verification I 
can get digitally, but the personal connection of the contact.
73 to all...
