Yes I do it with WB8RCR's QSL Maker.

It supports the "real official" QSL dimensions (140X90mm)

I have some Avery postcard stock with two 4" X 6" cards per sheet. I've have
been meaning to print some QSLs, but haven't gotten around to it. I wonder if
there are any templates around for the QSL information? I like the idea of a
personalized card for each QSO, rather than hand-printing the information.

Doing it yourself is handy, but the cost may be higher than you think. If you
were to have a quantity of cards printed at a print shop, they might cost less
per card. There is also the issue of inkjet prints fading over time. Cards
from a print shop may eventually fade, but not nearly as fast (unless your
printer uses pigment-based ink).

I make my own using WordStar 6.0 running in a DOS box under OS/2.
Print'em on an HP LJ III printer.
Artwork? Luckily I live in a "rectangular" state. HI!HI!

But, I _do_ make'em specific for use. I.e, a stack of 6M cards, a
stack of 2M cards, a stack of OMISS Net cards, a stack of Mobile
cards, und so weiter...

I use Avery 8359 postcards, 2 per sheet, and word. Picture and return address on the front and qsl info on
the back. Works great and can be changed easily.

Several roll ur own QSL card schemes at URL:

But if you use an inkjet printer and run high color density and print large
quantities -- you will go broke buying inkjet cartridges.
Tis OK for a few cards.

For large quantities, Tis a lot more economical to use QSL card printers at

I like Cheap QSL's ( good looking cards)

I did my own via some hand-coding in PostScript, sent 'em to a color
laserprinter, printed on the same sort of card stock, and chopped them
apart on a standard paper-cutter.

Before I switched to Linux, I used Print Center Deluxe (aka Newsletters,
Brocures and More!) from Expert Software.

Now I just use GIMP or Open Office 1.1
