LoTW is strongly preferred to confirm QSO's, I upload often. I reply to bureau QSL's via GlobalQSL 100% but it might take a while. I also upload to eqsl.

***No IRC's. The United States Postal Service has stopped selling IRC's. They are required to accept them. However, it is increasingly difficult to convince our postal employees to accept IRC's. They don't understand their own rules. For direct mail returns please enclose $2 USD ($1 USD does not buy the required stamp). ***
