Re: [IRCA] WYLL QSL
Hello Nigel
For many years I used SASE. I had accounts with both the Canadian and US postal services. I now just email a reception report. I get a QSL in hours rather than days hi! I print off the reply under the station banner from their website to individualise the email. This is not always necessary. 1470 WMBD sent a pdf letter as did 1470 XERCN. The guys at the station seem to prefer this approach.
Cheers
Barry :-)

Got a QSL card last week from Chicago's 1160 WYLL, and Chief Engineer Paul Easter enclosed a short note, asking me to help get the word out that although he's certainly willing to respond to reception reports, he would ask for some cooperation.
In part he said: "I can only respond to QSL requests (other than via e-mail) that include a SASE. The time involved is just too great otherwise. Also, if money of any kind is sent, it is really a big time waster. No money!"
Probably pretty good advice for reporting to most stations. I've used SASEs to all US and Canadian stations for a number of years, and 90% of the time they are used.
