View Full Version : OWO's New QSL Design
Well, it was time I came up with a new card. I wanted to be different, and here is what I made.

Uploading it killed some quality, but when it gets printed, I except the quality to be much better.
..and one problem.. it appears the back is smaller then front. I don't expect this to be a problem, I will just have more white then I do now.

Ya know, I think I might have space for one of those in the photo album I keep QSL cards in.

A seafood counter? Although I like the beer on the right.

Not bad at all! - And most definitely unique.
@ ECI, well when I do get around to ordering these, and I get them. Perhaps we will work, and you will get one of them.
A seafood counter in California, no point of the picture, just a strange picture that I took. Figured it would be interesting to have as a QSL card.

OK, you can use it then.

I came across a recipe for tomato wine the other day. http://scorpius.spaceports.com/~goodwine/tomatowine.htm
I've got a big bag of the things in my kitchen, just tempting me to do it.

Wow! What did you take the pic with? It looks great! My QSL is a pic of me at the shack with the Proset on. The nest will probably be a pic of portable operation with the 817 and the bug catcher mounted on the rear grab bar of my now running four wheeler. It wont stay on long, though. It is too tall. And, I like to go over rough terrain. The field we own is full of dirt mound from gophers, and large hole from the dog digging them up. Havn't got stuck yet!

Interesting. Beer is indeed good. Not sure I like it better than mine though...
Fear...

Although, still, kudos to Steve for not having some run-of-the-mill unoriginal and uninteresting QSL card. This is what makes ham radio fun. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Very nice card you havee there aswell. My next 110 cards sent out will be the unoriginal ones, because that is how many of those I have to get rid of. I am still waiting for the email from the pinter to get the excat price quote on the card you see here. I will be ordering 100 for now of those, but should be using that same design for the next 1000 cards I do. After that, I will have a very similar card, but plan on changing the picture the color, and perhaps some minor changes on the back. I have a picture of this guy asking for weed, I took the picture (which he charges 25 cents for me to do so).. Not sure that would be good for a QSL card. Though I hvae other pictures that I have taken that make no sense, though I won't have to worry about that for awhile. 210 cards I will have total with the old ones, that should last awhile.. Oh I am rambeling.. great card INV.
I try to customize my cards around my interests. like Aviation......
....... and astronomy.
This was taken by a local amateur astronomer. Wish I had the equipment to do something like it.

I think you should changse the font on the picture. Also, a bit of color correction migh make it pop better. Did you try any fllters on the BG? Perhaps it needs a bit of tweaking.

Was that comment to me? It needs some work, and also it lost a lot of quality when I uploaded it.
UD: I love the cards. Outside of amateur radio, I have an interest in computers and photography. I don't want to put a picture of my computers, so I figured I would use some unrelated photo that I have taken. No telling what I will find next. Really though, my camera is crap. I want a Canon EOS 20D, with several lenses, but that is not happening anytime soon. I will have the cheap CX4300, which takes pictures of seafood counters, okay.
