Greetings,
I have a question about exchanging QSL cards. When the last time the ISS xband repeater was up I made seven contacts. I was very excited because this was the first time I was able to work satellites. Very anxious, I sent out seven QSL cards. Waiting to get some back. I received only one. My questions is, is there a protocol for sending and receiving QSL cards for satellite work? When I get better, I would like to try for VUCC... Thanks in advance. 73, Stuart W8STU EN91
Unfortunately fewer and fewer hams are willing to send QSL cards. I will always send a card if requested, and would usually send a card if it was to someone I had never worked on satellite. Also if it was something special for one or the other of us.
When I was trying to finish my satellite VUCC, it took some effort to get the last few card.
