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. But, of course, since about the late 1990s, the rate of stations replying to QSL requests has been rapidly declining. I sent out 7 letters in 2011, and only 1 (KBRF-1250) bothered to respond. Streaming of audio has taken a lot of the novelty out of what was once the most enjoyable aspect of DXing. 73, Rick Dau South Omaha, Nebraska

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.
