Re: [IRCA] qsls by year

Willis,

There are still stations that care about QSLing, but not near as many as
we used to have. The old style CE seems to be more of a rarity these
days. Of course back in the 60s & 70s, many of those engineers have
passed on. But on a positive note, out of the 6 QSLs I received in 2011,
half were QSL cards. Not the number we used to have, but again I don't
hear all of the new stations I used to hear either. But even going back
to 2000, I still got a lot of QSLs. They take more work to today. KCJB
Minot ND took a follow up, but I did get a very nice letter from them. 
I will be at the dial and QSLing until they put me in a box some day. I
still love the hobby as much as I ever did, but things have changed. 

73,

Patrick
