73 de Alan/AF5BB

 I just recently passed the 50 year milestone but have only been licensed for a short time (since 12/21/2011) and only began making contacts in April, 2012. I have made quite a few QSOs up to this point using primarily digital modes, although I do plan to spend a little more time on SSB phone QSOs in the future.

 Although QSL exchange is not a high priority for me at present, I do upload logs as follows for the benefit of those who actively use the data...

eQSL.cc

LoTW

HRDLog.net 

New direct QSL policy...

I had originaly dediced against sending out any paper QSL cards as the cost of postage seemed like a waste of perfectly good money. I have come to realize however that paper is highly desired by some and after receiving a couple of cards in the mail containing money for return postage I broke down and ordered some cards and responded to any cards previously received.

While I would still prefer to exchange QSL information via one of the electronic methods, I will consider any paper QSL card I receive as a request for a paper QSL card from me. So upon receipt of your QSL card I will respond with my QSL card (may take a few weeks so please be patient).

No need to include return postage, as I am willing to share in that cost with you. Any SAE would be appreciated however since my handwritting is not very legible. In fact my 4th grade teacher used to make me write "I will improve my handwriting" 100 times a day but it didn't work and after all these years I still hate her:)
