One of things I've found is that when you send a card to one of the big
club stations which is operating a contest remotely ( which is about
the only way I'd get that grid or county ) make so many contacts on so
many bands that they're buried in cards. I've had a few come out of the
woodwork 2-3 years later. Some of them simply get so many that they
don't respond. And this is all as of about 4-5 years ago, which is the
last time I sent any out myself.
