Thanks for the nice memories...my "best" QSL's were from KFI, KENO (Nev), KWYO, KGHL, KRDS (Ariz), KYMN (Ore), KEEN (Ca)...and that was when I could hear them in NJ!!!

> My best years for QSL'ing were when I was into the hobby at full throttle, from the spring/summer of 1988 and for about a decade after that.  First QSL I ever got was from WOWO, for a sunset reception from Iowa City on 2/27/1988.  Most distant QSL (approx. 1386 mies) was for a wee-hours reception of KOMO from rural Oakland, IA on 2/27/1989.  My best QSL ever had to be from the DX test of WKBR-1250 in Manchester, NH on 3/6/1995.

Streaming of audio has taken a lot of the novelty out of what was once the most enjoyable aspect of DXing.

> Hey All ,Was just looking at my QSL collection and wondering, What where your best years for QSLing? That is, did you get more in any one year then in some other? My best year to date(so far) was `09 with just under a dozen. Just a thought. Good dx to all, Robbie in Wyoming (about 200 miles north-east of S.L.C. UT.)
