Most likely it will.Especially if you check in on the arfcom net.

Post of the week

When u sign up for LOTW they will snail mail you a post card with your password to your FCC address on record.   I will look like junk mail so pay attention to your mail until you get. I was ready to chuck mine when I took a second look.

You really should get 100 or so cards printed for occasions like this.  You can get 100 basic cards printed for $10 plus shipping.   Exchanging qsl cards is a big part of the hobby. It might not float your boat but he brand new general who just had his/her first QSO with you is likely to hang your QSL card on the wall of their shack for the rest of their life.  There are lots of things in life you do just because.  This is one of them IMHO.

My guess?

He REALLY wants the card and doesn't have a whole lot of money.

Some county chasers are rabid dogs!

I ordered last batch from CheapQSLs dot com. Quick turnaround, good quality. He has a bunch of styles to choose from. Once you do, he'll email you a picture of a sample for your approval. I got some extra cards from him for free. Not a bad deal and not much time was wasted.

I got some cards from the bureau a few months ago. Not many. I just bit the bullet and mailed out cards in return since I'm not an ARRL member. Unfortunately one of the cards did not have an address on it and I could not find an address online, so no way to return a card without joining ARRL to use the outgoing bureau.

It changed. Some folks use eQSL, some even registered at LoTW.  Service hamlog-dot-ru emerged.

Yes they are.

It's relatively easy to become rare DX for a few minutes during a state QSO party by activating a rare county, especially if you can get someone to spot you. Folks that like portable operation should give that a shot as an alternative to SOTA or whatever. County corners are the way to go if you can find them and they're accessible.

@GoBliNuke. There is internet in Russia? Interesting.
