Paper QSL collector

Send me your paper QSL card

I love paper cards. Even if you weren't going to send one — please do, and I will always mail mine back. An electronic confirmation is a row in a database; a paper card smells of post offices and stays forever.

Via bureau to UB3BIJ.

No eQSL can carry a kiss. 73 & 88
