Tom,
I really like LOTW. The cost of mailing and everyone wanting a SASE or
dollars it is the way to go. I do miss receiving cards but I feel LOTW would
make things easier and cheaper. I also think E-QSL is not blind friendly.

Well, David, I guess you and I will await the gems of wisdom from the
group out there.
Earlier, about 7 or 8 years ago, I found e-qsl to ve very unfriendly with
Jaws, but have never tried L O T W.
Will be interesting to see what others have done and used successfully.
And, once again, I'm very interested in what people do now to cover return
postage for DX cards, especially since the I R C cupon from the US Postal
Service, seems to be no longrer used.
