Although my accomplishments are far inferior to Patrick's I can remember a few years in the 1970s and 80s when it would not be uncommon to receive a dozen QSLs every two weeks or less during the winter DX season. Oh for those halcyon days when the QSLs returns far outnumbered the holdouts and the non-QSLers were the exception rather than the rule (cue audible sigh).

But since then, 2000 was my best year with 134 QSLs. To compare, I got only 6 QSLs in 2010, 11 in 2009. I haven't been at the dials as much, and also logging new stations since I have DXed here on the coast since the 60s, is not as easy feat now. With 3020 MW QSLs, 92 countries since 1965, I am not complaining. The highlights of this past year were the WKVQ GA test QSL, WGBW WI test QSL, and KCJB ND QSL.
