Yeah just make sure to ask their email address, not all are listed on qrz
which I guess is still not very accessible?

    Barb:

Typically, I have printed the cards off on card stock, and then mail them as
usual.

My XYL is sighted, so that helps a bit.

However, yesterday, Howard (WA9TOP) mentioned that he was considering
attaching the cards to e-mails to the hams he wants to QSL, and that seems
like a very interesting idea to me.

I may just start doing that now, and see how it goes.
