General Radio Discussion / Re: Getting SWBC Station QSLs

fkradio: Thanks for the tip on no attachments. I always send attachments to pirates & wouldn't've thought not to include one to an SWBC station
Just a general comment: Aside from my first two or so years of SWLing, I've avoided writing reports to major stations & instead went after pirates & occasionally smaller & private SWBC stations. One year in the early 2000s, I think, I sent something like 40 reports to stations in Peru, Bolivia, & Venezuela. I think my success rate was about 5% or so. Now, most of the government stations are gone, so I guess I should've written to them instead!
