[Elecraft] QSLs

[Bill Frantz]

For very short run QSLs, I make up a card in a photo editing 
program and print it as a 4x6 print. I cut that down to 3.5" x 
5.5" for a standard QSL size. I put all the QSO information on 
the front and leave the back as it comes from the photo shop.

For the 80-100 cards I need to print for the special event 
station that just finished, it has been suggested that I get a 
copy shop (Kinko's/FedEx etc.) to print them 4 up on glossy 
stock with anything I want on the back. For larger numbers, the 
various QSL printers are probably the way to go.


As for sending QSLs, I upload all my contacts to LotW (including 
net control contacts for the Elecraft SSB net). If I want a card 
from you, I will send you one with a SASE/SAE w/green stamps. If 
you want a card from me, send a request via email or postal 
mail. Since Santa Clara county isn't a rare one, I can afford 
the postage for the people who want my card.

I will add, I still don't know the procedure to apply paper QSLs 
to DXCC. I got mine entirely with LotW.
