[Ham-Mac] Printing QSL Cards -- making standard size cards

[Richard Cincotta]

Great tip, Dick!  I'll do that.  I, too, have received comnplaints (from the FISTS manager) about the size and have been trying to figure out an easy way to get down to the standard size without disfiguring the card.  

Many thanks, Dick,

Rich, KI4FW
