[Ham-Mac] Printing QSL Cards

[Luis E Aguilar]

Hi All,

Thanks very much for all the great tips, this has motivated me to start 
working on designing the QSL card.

I have found a program that has been getting great reviews, It is called 
DrawIt and it is super easy to use.

Looks like I can use it for 14 days and pay like $18 dollars if you like it.

Anyway here is a test Qsl card created using an image of my son's 
Halloween custom. Don't get scare, not a real ninja, plastic sword, Hi HI!

More information on DrawIt can be obtained from:

Several of you mentioned AppleWorks, Is this the new Iworks, Pages? I am 
not sure where to get it.

Thanks,

KN1W
