Just started in October, have been mailing cards for about a month now. Finally starting to get some emails letting me know they’re arriving. I picture my letters in a half torn burlap sack being carried up the side of a mountain by a donkey...haha.
Finding contact info hasn’t been easy, and understanding the address can be challenge too. I’m getting the most from ClusterDX, then LF11, some from qrz11, and the rest from random internet searches.
The QSL manager system is strange to me...I’ve had to send cards to Italy for Suriname, Cape Verde and Brazil, to Brazil to reach Guadeloupe, France to reach Curacao and Uruguay...and etc. And many others are straight to the radio operator.
I’ve been sending a card, 2 green stamps, and a prepared return envelop...unless they ask for something specific.
Any advice for someone new to this?
Any significant resources I am missing?
