Show Me Your QSL Cards Please

[A71AN]

These are the new qsl cards I intend to print while in Thailand, I would love to see your qsl cards and learn from them, these 2 cards are in the form of photographs now and I will send them to those who are interested to have them.


Thank you all and 73

Very nice photos on your QSLs, that's how cards should be.

However, with full-color photo QSLs being more affordable than ever, I see more and more cards which are technically excellent, but lack a personal touch or any kind of creativity.

My current card:

And most of the cards I have been sending out over the last years:

Simple yet very well designed and I would love to have one.

Thank you my friend for showing me your card and wishing you all of the best

This one used to be an old B&W photo of a Blatz truck that I overhauled. I have a couple more designs in the works if I can ever get some time work on them again.

[K7UF]

Mine is a similar (not exactly the same) view from my house, summer and winter:

Here's my contribution. For an explanation, just pull up my QRZ bio. I thought it was a neat way to pay tribute to the former license holder and express myself as well.

[K0DXC]

Here's what my QSL looks like.

One of mine:

Somehow the color profiles didn't come out right when I converted to jpeg.

[W4MAJ]

I designed this one myself and had them printed at my college's print shop. I'm in the process of updating it.

**EDIT** I added the reverse side of my current QSL card.

[K0DXC]

Nice, I especially like the frog. My brother is obsessed with them, he even got a tadpole for Christmas.

There's mine

[w4sul]

My current card. I change the design about every 6 months. I make them in Gimp, and print them as photos at the local drug store.

[kb9bit]

My QSL design combines my two major hobbies, astronomy and ham radio. I took this photo from a dark site in West Texas. You can't see the sky like this in Indiana anymore.

[N2RJ]

This is one I'm going to get printed:

I agree. I want one of those on my wall. Hope to catch both of you on the air.

This is my newly, redesigned QSL:

Cool! Maybe he and I can set up a SKED and I'll send him a card. Just be there with him while he's there if he isn't licensed yet.

[N8MME]

Here is my new one.

This is probably the most recognizable landmark in our town. I make my own cards. It would take me a lifetime to use even 500 cards. :D

Bravo. Yes, by far the best.

I'm sure he would love that, I'll ask him about it.

[NA5Z]

Agreed. Great choice of messages.

That's a great card! Love the A-7. I live down the road from Lemoore Naval Air Station and that plan was one of my favorites growing up. A couple scout leaders I had were former A-7 pilots and had some pretty good stories about how they had to dodge SAMS they said were as big as telephone poles in that plane. Sad to see the old birds retired!

[W6SA]

2 cents each, printed 4 to a page. Print QSO info on the back with BV7 and then cut to size.

LOL I love it...according to the pic, it's 5 AM (must be AM since the moon is up) and ure on the air while the baby cries and xyl nags... how many of us are guilty of the same?? :-):D

[kb3laz]

Ok heres Mine, nothing special.

[KJ4BIC]

Here is our club's QSL. I know that KY4DCR isn't licensed to us yet, we are planing to get that call but we have fallen behind a little.Card looks good though if I may say so myself.

You can view mine by looking up my call sign. Nothing spectacular but homebrewed using Microsoft Publisher on my PC. Printed cardstock with 4 each postcards per sheet that mail for $.26 each.

Here are some of the ones I used to print and send out before I sent the "beer truck" to UX5UO for printing. I still have a couple of other designs coming up when I have time to tinker with them again.

The aliasing is thanks to the size reduction....

[wy7usa]

I'll throw mine into the mix ..

That's impressive!

[w3wn]

Here's a "proof" of one my cards. As you can tell, I've set up to do a MailMerge(C) into Micro$oft Publisher to import directly from my log (or actually a log extract).

It's not as "personal" as a hand-written card could be, but those who've seen my handwriting understand that at least it's READABLE :D !

[wm3o]

this is a special card that was used for the NAQP contest a few years back. an homage to our buddy Mike, N3CA, formerly KB3LNT and K3LNT. all ops used the same name, Lint, a nickname from the suffix of his first call. if you worked all three members of Team Lint-free, you got this card. no one got this card.

This is one of the first qsl cards I have printed in color both the front and the back side data, still I keep around 5000 of them and I only send them to some very special friends.

Is that a belly dancer/stripper or a ninja? :D It's hard to tell from the pic.

This is our style for the badwen ladies, as the badwens do travel across the desert in the old days, searching for food and water; they used to cover the face as a protection from the heat and traveling high speed sand.

Of course this is in the old days, today our ladies wear the best made cloth in the world, but we are still very proud of our traditions and culture and have a great respect for our old days, we say “those who have no past, will never have a present” a Japanese Ham Radio magazine did publish this qsl card and so one German magazine, there after many people requested me to send this qsl card to them for the qso they do with me

By the way this is not a real photograph but a painting.


Wishing you all of the best my friend, 73

[W6ONV]

LOL. I scroll through the first page and I see one of two QSL cards I have received W4MAJ. Found that funny. Here is what I designed, but I am working on updating it.
