I figured the comments about the QSLs would get mixed into this thread. I
have said many times the stations that I've had contact with while on
HF--and they've all been questioned and discounted because I "don't have a
QSL" to prove it. Ha!! Don't need the paper--I knew I did it; although I
am not all that sure that the contacts I've had are all that "special."

Not a paper chaser at all, never was even intrigued by it. Not a QSLer,
although I design them all the time--THAT's the part I like. I really enjoy
designing them.

So, it appears Dan must've said something, again, about not having QSLs for
a contact. Pfffffttttttt, who cayas?

When I said "without QSL's" I meant this. I don't usually count
contest
QSO's for my dx hunting. So I forgot about all the thousands of
cards I
have here from the bureau over the last many years. So I am sure I
have
enough cards for most, if not all, of the awards offered.

I'm just not much of a paper hunter....except for contest
certificates.

There are all sorts of directions one can opt to go in this game.

I wouldn't ignore a Q with Sprately just because I happened to work him
in the CQ WW or some such. Particularly these days when the expeditions
to rare places go there specifically to operate in the contests. I also
collect paper but for the most part only the really tough ones. A 5BWAZ
is about as tough as they come and I'm not even close. Ya got an 80M
Zone 23 card in your stacks?
