In old days, it was a big joy to receive an envelope from a QSL bureau. I was not eager enough to send my cards direct, so that was the only way to get QSL cards.
Time has passed, and now the age of electronic mail, electronic logbook, and electronic cards. Even during QSOs, we sometimes become absent minded by trying to get more information from qrz.com than from listening to the morse music coming all the long way to you bouncing several times between the earth and the ionosphere.
