Successful QSLing

1. If a DX station has a reputation for not returning cards or
blaming postal theft for non-QSLing, or has a long list of inane
rules to follow, don't waste your time or money. There will always
be someone else to work who doesn't make you jump through hoops
and/or profiteer from his hobby.
Addendum to proposed QSLing suggestions.
Any time it is possible, use LOTW. It keeps the US Mule and those
other mail services out of the loop. No money available for thieves
to steal, no GS to worry about, no air mail stamps to buy, thus
reduced costs, faster results.
DX stations, LOTW will greatly reduce your costs, keep you from
having to write all of those QSL cards, take a lot less of your
time, and make you an all around good guy.
