a word about SASE 

Self Addressed Stamped Envelope

Hey, this is a topic that gets some folk's blood boiling !
Here's my take..
I live in a semi RARE place, Idaho,
I live in a semi RARE Grid, DN32.
I try to "light up" rare grids during contests, and give out as many contacts as
possible when the band is open. I'm talking about 6 meters

I could afford to stick a stamp on every QSL card I receive,
BUT,
when I need a new grid, or state, or whatever,, I always send an SASE, .... 
So I expect you to send me an SASE too.. 
  
It just makes the process  easier,  fewer mistakes in addressing, and takes less time.
I Return 100% with SASE's or Buro cards..
And I return them FAST , usually the NEXT day,

I also use ARRL  LoTW

 so: Send SASE's to everyone

 

 OK,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, you don't like SASE's, 
THINK LoTW from the ARRL,
Sooner or Later everyone and his brother will be issuing all sorts of awards,   you know Eqsl, QRZ.com,  Dirty Harry's CB shop, etc and the list will just grow and grow.   
         none of these ""made up"" awards mater,
         there as useless as toilet paper
         you new guys get some savvy, only the ARRL
         and a few CQ award count for more that shit,
 
         yes I know CQ  uses Eqsl....
  The "real thing" in awards come from the ARRL. 
 

SO why spend green stamp after green stamp , or SASE's
when LoTW does the job for the awards that maters.

SIGN UP AND USE LoTW.. 
once you get over the learning curve you will love it ..

good dx and grid hunting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

all my contacts are uploaded to LoTW !
