It was great to receive Hector's very nice QSL card in the mail today!
I have started uploading my contacts to LOTW for the benefit of those that 
use it. However, it is of no use to me because:
1) I am not an ARRL member so I am not eligible to apply for their awards. 
The QSL cards I receive are, themselves, my awards. I have nothing against 
the ARRL but all the money I have budgeted for amateur radio organizations 
goes to AMSAT.
2) The internet, email, etc., are great but can't provide the thrill I get 
when I open my mailbox and find a real, honest-to-goodness QSL card. Yes, I 
know postage and printing costs money and if I didn't spend the money on 
postage, paper, and ink, I could afford to donate more to AMSAT.

Evidently, many of you agree with me because, to date, I have mailed 423 QSL 
cards and have received 304. That is a much higher percentage than 
verifications I have gotten via LOTW.

73,
Chuck, KM9U
